Podcast

Since its launch in September 2017, the podcast’s 150 episodes have been listened to over 250,000 times from more than 165 countries, with an audience including students and professors at other educational institutions as well as physicians and public health professionals around the globe. Free Associations is divided into three segments: the Journal Club, a discussion of an intriguing or noteworthy study; the Deep Dive, during which the hosts examine current issues in medical research, such as conflicts of interest; and the Amazing and Amusing, an analysis of the wackiest or most fascinating recent study results. Fox believes part of the podcast’s appeal is that the hosts explore angles that their audience may not normally consider.
