Do you send emails. Would be interested in receiving but not podcasts.
Leslie Kernisan, MD MPH says
Yes, we have an email list and usually email our community every two weeks, with a new or recently updated article. There should be a box visible at the top of every page (it won’t appear until the next day, once it’s been dismissed). Or if you sign up for any of the free guides or cheatsheets, this will add you to the list.
