Note: Criteria for selection in this list is hard to describe, but if you want to email me
I can try… Given the thousands of potential inclusions, this is mostly based on my
interests in public health, suggesting people and organizations you might not bump
into, and my time limitations at the moment… Jim. (Tweet me your suggestions!

Viral is a public health podcast for both public health nerds and the general public
hosted by Linsey Grove and Quinn Lundquist. Public health consists of too many
topics and professionals to name–but we’re going to try to cover it all. From baby
bottle tooth decay to social justice, we will discuss the historical context, cultural
relevance, and current connections to each topic while interviewing our colleagues
in the field. You don’t have to work in public health to appreciate its quirky,
omniscient existence. Welcome to Viral.
