    Ep13: How this Pharma Company Engaged Remote Teams with Podcasts

    How do you connect distributed field staff with leadership when they're on the road between appointments? Kristen Griffiths, Associate Director of Communications & Patient Advocacy at Incyte, found the answer with an internal podcast called "The Connection Lab." After survey data showed employees wanted more leadership visibility, Griffiths developed what she calls "culture on demand"—an audio-first solution that lets field representatives connect with executives during drive time. The podcast features leaders sharing personal stories that create authentic connections written communications never could, like an executive revealing how a family member's chronic illness inspired her pharmaceutical career. In this session, Griffiths reveals how she transformed employee engagement through the simple power of human storytelling. This episode features a recording from the 2025 Health Podcast Summit.

    Ep12: How this Medical Device Company Reaches Users with Podcasts
    Jan 19 2026
    What if the best place to launch a healthcare podcast was a coffee table at a trade show? That's exactly what Dan Cottrell (The Podcast Guys) and Sejal Patel (Insulet) did with "Beyond the Bolus," growing it from a makeshift recording space at ADA's New Orleans conference to over 100,000 downloads in four years. Sejal reveals how she convinced skeptical stakeholders to invest in untested audio content for HCPs, while Dan explains the strategic advantage of capturing thought leaders at conferences where they're already gathered. With medical team members present during recordings to flag compliance concerns in real-time, they've built a model that's both compliant and creative - opening doors to KOL conversations that wouldn't happen otherwise. Now featuring a dedicated studio with silent disco headphones for live audiences, this session reveals how to turn a tiny corner of a trade show booth into a powerful channel for thought leadership.

    Ep11: How Can Podcasts Work for Doctors (and Other HCPs)
    Jan 15 2026
    How do physicians cut through 2 million annual medical publications to stay current? Dr. Hansa Bhargava, Chief Clinical Strategy and Innovation Officer at Healio, has the answer: podcasts that transform medical education for time-strapped doctors who can learn while commuting or exercising. With over 11 years of clinical practice before transitioning to medical media, Dr. Bhargava hosts "Physicianary," an Apex Award-winning podcast that's part of Healio's multimodal strategy to reach busy healthcare providers. But she's also navigating critical challenges—from balancing AI-generated content with trust and authenticity in an era of voice cloning, to competing with platforms like TikTok where 30% of people under 30 get their health information. In this session, Dr. Bhargava explores how conversational podcasts provide essential human connection in an increasingly isolated digital world and offer an antidote to doom scrolling through purposeful audio consumption.
