TDR's Global Health Matters monthly podcast series has completed two years of broadcasting and is gearing up for the third season to be launched in early May 2023. An incredible body of knowledge and experience has been developed by the podcast team and its Executive Producer and host, Dr Garry Aslanyan. It was an unexpected surprise when the PH SPOT podcast team invited him to join host Sujani Siva to discuss how the Global Health Matters podcast came to be and to share advice for anyone who is considering starting their own podcast.
Dr Aslanyan is perhaps best known these days as the face and voice of the Global Health Matters podcast, but he starts by sharing an insight into his job at TDR, where he is helping to connect and advance public health research around the world. He then dives into how the idea of the podcast was born, what topics of interest have been covered and the advantages of using podcasts as a medium for knowledge dissemination. The conversation continues on what skill sets and team members are needed to run a podcast, advice on pitching a new podcast project and the success of the Global Health Matters podcast that allows it to start yet another season, its third, shortly, with even more exciting and engaging episodes.
PH SPOT podcast is informative and essential listening for future global health practitioners.
