About this listen

 Viral is a public health podcast for both public health nerds and the general public started by Linsey Grove and Quinn Lundquist and hosted 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.

    Episode 67: Female Sterilization
    Jun 7 2025

    Public health is meant to protect us—but history shows it can also be used to control us. In the 20th century, tens of thousands of people, mostly women, were forcibly sterilized. In this podcast, we dig into the unsettling history of forced sterilization in the United States. From historical eugenics laws to the current realities of reproductive justice, we’ll explore how public health policies crossed the line, and why understanding this history still matters today.

    Episode 66: Public Health Law
    Apr 25 2025

    You can't make me!!! Welp...sometimes we can. Join us as we talk about the legal framework for advancing public health. Our guest is Dawn Hunter: public health lawyer, health equity champion, and the rare policymaker who’s as comfortable with the legislature as she is in a microbiology lab. Dawn’s career is proof that the law isn’t just about statutes—it’s about systems, stories, and the social determinants that touch us all.
