Dr. Jeffrey Barkin is a practicing psychiatrist, multimedia journalist, and co-host of A Healthy Conversation on WGAN, where he brings clarity and calm to today’s most pressing healthcare issues. Known for his positivity and thoughtful communication style, Jeff has spent decades helping people navigate uncertainty—first in clinical settings and now through public dialogue. A Swarthmore and Yale-trained physician, he traces his love of radio back to childhood nights spent listening to a tiny transistor tucked inside a stuffed animal.
From his early DJ days to leading the Maine Medical Association, Jeff’s journey reflects a deep belief: better communication leads to better care. Whether breaking down pandemic anxieties or advocating for more humane healthcare models, he champions honesty, empathy, and the power of process over prescription. His Maine roots, paired with a global outlook, make his voice a vital one in reimagining how we connect, care, and heal.
