Abstract

Health communication plays a critical role in supporting public health and global health practice. Podcasts are increasingly being used as a medium to disseminate health-related information in education, clinical, and non-academic settings. Through this paper, we examine the Public Health Insight Podcast, its potential role as a health communication tool, and opportunities that emerged as a result of its dissemination.
