Listen to “This Podcast Will Kill You”

Running out of good dinner party conversation? Although this podcast will NOT kill you, it is jam packed with information about the infectious diseases that can. Co-hosted by two epidemiology grad students, Erin Welsh and Erin Allmann Updyke, TPWKY debuted its first season “The Plagues You Know” on October 31, 2017, covering all of your favorites from influenza to HIV.

The Erins aren’t spouting off some memes your dear Aunt Sally re-posted on Facebook, these girls know their stuff. Their enthusiasm is positively infectious (wink, wink)! Picture yourself at your next cocktail hour waxing poetic on all things smallpox. You might find yourself planning your next vacation to Molokai Island, former home of the lepers. Looking for some fabulous beverages to wow your Halloween party guests? Each episode features it’s own “quarantini.” Looking for a band name? If you don’t go with Gurgling Buboes, you’re doing it wrong!

Whether you’re an all-out health junky or have a general curiosity about how scared you should be of the latest epidemic, pour yourself a “rice water stool” and plug in those earbuds. You’re in for a treat!

If you don’t listen to a single other episode, everyone PLEASE make time for Influenza Will Kill You, because it absolutely can! There is so much bad information spreading around out there, you would think it’s contagious. The Erins will take you on a trip through history back to 1918, when the Spanish flu was wiping out pretty much everyone. Why should you care? Listen to find out!
