“GeKonnt Gesund” is the podcast of the Health Communication program at the University of Erfurt. Students in the Master’s program in Health Communication (Gesundheitskommunkation, short: GeKo) dive into a wide range of health topics—ranging from conspiracy theories in the climate context to women’s health and organ donation—and present them as engaging podcast episodes to communicate science in an accessible way. At the same time, creating a podcast episode can also count as part of their coursework. You can listen to all previous episodes here.
