ABOUT VIRAL

We want to answer “What is Public Health?”

Viral is a public health podcast for both public health nerds and the general public originally created by Linsey Grove and Quinn Lundquist in 2017 and now cohosted by Linsey and Megan Albertson.  Public health consists of too many topics and professionals to name–but we’re going to try to cover it all.  From baby bottle tooth decay to social justice, we will discuss the historical context, cultural relevance, and current connections to each topic while interviewing our colleagues in the field.  You don’t have to work in public health to appreciate its quirky, omniscient existence.  Welcome to Viral.

Podcast Topics will include (but are not limited to):

  • Public Health History
  • Current Events
  • Workforce Development
  • Leaders, Researchers, and Regular Folks
  • Factoids
  • Reading Suggestions
  • Candle Scents and Haikus!

How it started and where we’re going


Quinn Lundquist (Founder)

Quinn Lundquist, MPH, CPH, has worked in public health for five years. After receiving his MPH, he served as a policy and communications fellow at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. He is currently employed at the best job ever: stay-at-home dad. Quinn also provides public health and writing consultation. He is a history nerd, has three dogs, and spends his free time drinking too much coffee while listening to Tom Waits.


Linsey Grove (Founder / Co-Host)
