  • Great PH Resource

    This podcast series is so good for anyone who has an interest in public health and wants to gain a better understanding of what public health entails. I’m wrapping up my public health degree and have turned to this podcast for some great resources. And big bonus that this is a Canadian-based platform.

  • Great podcast

    Love the content and layout of the podcast! Always super interesting topics.

    Only thing I’m not a huge fan of is the continuous music in the background while talking. I find it distracting from the content at times.

    Love the diversity from the regular speakers. It’s a rare occurrence to have a podcast with so many different perspectives in each episode. I have never heard a podcast have 7 people on it. They pulled it off well.
