The series aims to distill the often complex information about the nation's healthcare to help consumers in Indian Country choose the best coverage for them.
According to a report by Statista, 62 percent of U.S. adults listened to podcasts in 2022, more than double since 2012. In recent years, several Indigenous podcasts have gained widespread listenership, including the award-winning series This Land, hosted by Rebecca Nagle (Cherokee Nation); and All My Relations, hosted by Matika Wilbur (Swinomish and Tulalip).
NIHB hopes the series will reach new audiences and bring attention to issues in Indian Country while sharing lessons from tribal communities on everything from COVID-19 to climate change.
