The Health Affairs Podcast Fellowship is an exciting new program for US-based applicants. The program is intended for early- or mid-early–stage career individuals with an interest in health policy and storytelling.
The program is intended to
support applicants who have an audio project in mind to inform and educate the public. Applicants should have a working knowledge of the topic and an idea of what’s needed to complete their project (interviews, data, field recordings, etc.).
Each fellow will produce a podcast series of at least four episodes using interviews, background briefs, public data, Health Affairs research, and other materials to tell the story.
Candidates are expected to be US-based print or radio journalists, freelance storytellers, solo-preneurs, or academics. The fellowship is designed to enable fellows to work independently over a five-month period (June to October) to produce a podcast series/story of at least four episodes, which Health Affairs will publish soon after.
