Free Associations
Free Associations is about using a critical eye when reading journal articles or news coverage about research breakthroughs. With a sense of humor and a healthy dose of skepticism Boston University School of Public Health faculty Matt Fox, Jessica Leibler, and guests talk us through popular health studies and hyperbolic news headlines while teaching us how to ask the right questions.

Amusing, informational and just delightful

I discovered this podcast while I was completing my masters in public health and have continued to listen it as they never fail to discuss interesting and topical studies and you are guaranteed a few laughs and chuckles along the way. Great work everyone, keep ‘em coming. I highly recommend this podcast.
Favorite Podcast !

I love this podcast, I’m really glad I came across it. I am a BSPH student and I love that this is a source of information that keeps me engaged and I get to hear different opinions on public health topics. The topics/episodes stimulate me intellectually & the host keep it interesting and funny. The only constructive feedback/comment I have is I would love to get through an episode without Jess being interrupted, let’s let her get through her opinion the same way as the guys please.
The best epi podcast

As an epi professor myself, I’m in love with Free Associations - the perfect blend of engaging stories, gnurred humor, and clearly explained insights into the practice of epi research. I’ve been filling my hour-long commute with these podcasts, and weekends, too. Feeling blessed by the deep backlog to draw from!
Great Podcast for Academic Students

I’m a BUSPH alum and love listening to the professors break down studies from topics that range from COVID to Food! I have a busy schedule as a med student so often don’t get much time to read the latest literature and this podcast is a good way to catch up on some of what’s happening in the research and public health world. I’m sad the show is down to once a month and hope the older schedule can resume soon. Thanks to the hosts and guest speakers for really intriguing and thoughtful conversations!
