Engaging hosts discuss public health articles in depth, including methods, results and conclusions, and how popular media summarized the results of the article, where possible. You dont need to be an epidemiologist to follow most of this. The hosts are always having fun too which helps a lot !
My best podcast discovery of 2023, loving the back catalogue (even though I'm a nutritionist ;)
Thank you for some great journal club chats over the last few years. Best wishes for your new adventure!
I love this podcast, I’m really glad I came across it. I am a BSPH student and I love that this is a source of information that keeps me engaged and I get to hear different opinions on public health topics. The topics/episodes stimulate me intellectually & the host keep it interesting and funny. The only constructive feedback/comment I have is I would love to get through an episode without Jess being interrupted, let’s let her get through her opinion the same way as the guys please.
I discovered this podcast while I was completing my masters in public health and have continued to listen it as they never fail to discuss interesting and topical studies and you are guaranteed a few laughs and chuckles along the way. Great work everyone, keep ‘em coming. I highly recommend this podcast.
