Ep132: Ten Years of Pomegranate Health

Pomegranate Health marks ten years of podcasting since its launch in June 2015. This episode will be one of two samplers that dip into the back catalogue of 131 episodes to showcase some of the most compelling stories. You’ll hear how podcast themes are identified from all the domains of medicine and professionalism. And a little bit about the motivations of long-time producer and presenter, Mic Cavazzini.

Pomegranate Health has several thousand listeners in over 150 countries. Three quarters of listeners are, predictably, in Australia and Aotearoa-New Zealand, but a full 14 per cent are located outside the traditional anglosphere. RACP is proud to provide this platform to showcase the great work and dedication of its members. It’s also a place where physicians can learn from the other professionals and patient advocates that make up the health system.
