Public health is evolving, and ASPPH is working to elevate the conversations shaping the future of academic public health. Launching April 9 during National Public Health Week (NPHW), the IDEA Exchange Podcast is a new platform designed to convene leaders, innovators, and changemakers from across the field. Hosted by Miranda Bosse, Director of the IDEA Institute, the IDEA Exchange Podcast creates space for thoughtful dialogue on the most pressing issues and emerging opportunities in academic public health.

Each month, the podcast will feature engaging conversations with individuals influencing research, education, and practice, offering fresh perspectives and actionable insights for the public health community.

The inaugural episode features ASPPH President and CEO Dr. Laura Magaña, a nationally recognized leader in academic public health. In this opening conversation, Dr. Magaña shares her perspective on the evolving role of schools and programs of public health, the importance of innovation and collaboration, and how the field can continue to adapt to address today’s complex health challenges.

Launching on April 9 on Spotify and ASPPH’s YouTube Channel, the IDEA Exchange Podcast reflects ASPPH’s commitment to fostering connection, amplifying diverse voices, and advancing the future of public health education and practice. Listeners are invited to follow along, engage with each episode, and take part in the ongoing conversations driving progress across the academic public health community.
