Viral is a public health podcast for both public health nerds and the general public started by Linsey Grove and Quinn Lundquist and hosted by Linsey and Megan Albertson. 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. Welcome to Viral.

Loose lips sink ships (and try not to get syphilis): when altruism meets artillery.
Part one of today's episode of Viral is about public health and propaganda. Later, we talk to Jennifer Wright, author of the new book "Get Well Soon: History's Worst Plagues and the Heroes Who Fought Them."
Edited and produced by Linsey Grove and Quinn Lundquist. James Schultz is our technical wizard. For more info, visit viral-pod.com and check us out on Twitter @viralpodcast.

Public health is all around us, yet difficult to describe. Most people have little-to-no idea what we do (including our parents). This podcast is a heartfelt – and probably half-baked – attempt to understand public health through history, humor, and stories from professionals in the field. Our mission is to create a cozy corner for public health nerds to listen and laugh with us as we try to describe a field that is constantly changing and adapting. Welcome to Viral.
