Eradicating Smallpox: The Heroes that Wiped out a 3,000-Year-Old Virus One of humanity’s greatest triumphs is the eradication of smallpox. This new eight-episode docuseries, “Eradicating Smallpox,” explores this remarkable feat and uncovers striking parallels and contrasts to recent history in the shadows of the covid-19 pandemic. Host Céline Gounder brings decades of experience working on HIV in Brazil and South Africa, Ebola during the outbreak in New Guinea, and covid-19 in New York City at the height of the pandemic. She travels to India and Bangladesh to bring never-before-heard stories from the front lines of the battle to wipe smallpox off the face of the Earth. “Epidemic” launched in early 2020 and quickly became a key source of reporting on the rapidly unfolding coronavirus pandemic. The show premiered at No. 1 in health and fitness and No. 1 in medicine on the Apple Podcast charts.

Best public health podcast
08/29/2023
Convincing people to save their own lives through public health measures sounds like it should be easy but this smart podcast shows how hard it can be, whether it’s smallpox or COVID. My favorite parts are when Dr. Gounder weaves in information about her experience treating patients during the peak of the pandemic.
Thank you, Dr. Celine!

Deeper thoughts about Covid

This is a great podcast if you want to get beyond the headlines and exhortations. Researchers with experience talking in a way that is clear for anyone to understand, and implications for the future as we sidle up with Covid for the long run.
Clear clear clear!

It seems like whenever I hear something about the pandemic, there is always some critical detail left out or something that’s been glossed over or even muddied up. This podcast is such a welcome respite from that. The host is an expert who interviews other experts, rather than a reporter trying to do his or her best both absorbing material and figuring out how to present it as quickly as possible. Here all the pieces of the puzzle are in the box and are assembled correctly without fail. Importantly, there is no jargon in the podcast whatsoever. The host doesn’t use it herself and also doesn’t allow it to creep in in other audio used. The subject matter is complex, but whenever a term is important to use, it is clearly defined. On the bigger picture side, the topics covered have been critical ones. The episodes on the three recent variants were essential. Also highly important were those delving into the underreported but more consequential reasons for lower vaccination rates of various populations.
