Communications Breakdown is a new podcast that invites you into the world of strategic communication planning, message crafting, and research translation.

We're your hosts, Tracy Mehan and Katrina Boylan, and in this first episode, we'll talk you through:

• how we each found the field of health communication
• the education and experiences we draw on to create accurate, accessible, eye-catching health promotion campaigns

Whether you're a researcher wanting to share your work more effectively, a communication professional looking to sharpen your skills, or simply someone interested in how health information reaches the public, we're sharing our insights with warmth, humor, and expertise.
