  • Quirky and Informative

    Quinn and Linsey are uniquely funny and brilliant. I find myself recoiling in my desk chair, disturbed by historical medical practices, and simultaneously amused by their perspective and witty banter. Public health podcasts aren’t most people’s first picks when consuming media, but they bring a new perspective and not only entertain, but inform their audience.

  • Best in health-related podcasting!

    This is THE best health-related podcast out there. The co-hosts approach topics with humor and make them digestible for anyone (expert and non-expert alike!) with an interest in health, public health, science, etc. I learn something new and interesting each time I listen. And I appreciate the variety of topics - including an episode on poop!

  • Hooray for Public Health

    I'm so excited that there is finally a great podcast about public health that's well researched and hosted by some experienced public health professionals. Most people don't understand how much public health touches everyone on a daily basis. Great interviews and looking forward to learning more. Keep up the great work!
