Very cool!

I have learned SO much from this podcast, and it’s really nice to hear from another student at this school. It’s been lonely out here.

Great Platform

The Healthbuzz podcast allows me to connect with other college students to really understand how others are feeling about health topics. It is another small community I love to be a part of. I enjoy listening to all of the information they have to offer and the interviews they share as well. The team is energetic and a great group to listen to!
