  • Good topics, big name guests

    Sir Michael Marmot and other well respected experts make this an interesting and credible podcast. Chris can Tulleken on ultra processed foods was an especially good listen.

  • At last

    What a great series after working as a nurse in primary care for the last twenty years in an area of deprivation it is lovely to hear someone tackle all these issues rather than come up with some tick box rubbish to just highlight differences.

    I’m really enjoying this podcast and the topics discussed. I think there is nothing more important right now than analysing the issues we have in society, the intersection of the various and many problems that people face, and this podcast looks to raise these and talk about solutions. Thank you!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ageing Playfully: Transforming perspectives on growing older
Q: How might we embed a playful approach to public health?
Rochelle and Carrie discuss the need for public health to be more non-instrumental and focus on the joy of activities rather than just their health benefits.
Ageing Playfully: Transforming perspectives on growing older
Q: Why do we only associate play with childhood?
Carrie explains that societal and historical contexts have marginalized the association of play with old age, viewing it as frivolous, while play is actually meaningful at any age.
Episode 4: The genetic revolution: implications and applications for improving the health of the public
Q: Can you give us a quick tour of genetic epidemiology, epigenetics, as it's relevant to our life?
Genetic epidemiology's history reveals complexities beyond deterministic views of genes; many diseases have multifactorial causes, and understanding them requires deeper exploration beyond initial assumptions of simplicity.
Episode 6: Smoke-Free Future: Tackling tobacco and vaping for the health of the public
Q: Can you briefly explain the importance of the tobacco and vapes bill? What's being proposed? What's the impact going to be on smoking? How is it going to improve our health in the UK?
The bill aims to make it illegal to sell tobacco products to anyone born on or after the 1st of January 2009, creating a smoke-free generation. It seeks to reduce smoking prevalence significantly, with supporting measures for vaping regulation to curb youth usage while ensuring adult smokers can transition to these products to quit smoking.
