Gene Pool Media is launching a new podcast network dedicated to healthcare and genetics.

It will bring together some of the most influential voices in science to reshape how scientific stories are shared.

The launch includes a suite of podcasts that explore, share, and educate listeners on a wide range of topics including genetics, rare diseases, pharmaceuticals, genomic medicine, patient advocacy, science careers, and more.

These podcasts include:

  • DNA Today: This multi-award-winning genetics podcast is hosted by Kira Dineen, MS, LCGC, CG(ASCP)CM. Every Friday she is joined by leading genetic experts to explore the latest in genetic technology, disorders, research, ethics and beyond.
  • RealPharma: Hosted by Dr. Na-Ri Oh and Ian Wendt, RealPharma delves into the world of biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, and healthcare, offering biopharma professionals insightful discussions with industry leaders and luminaries.
  • #ThroughTheGenes: Sickle cell sisters Wunmi Bakare and Dima Hendricks, explore the risks, benefits, and limitations of gene-based therapies for sickle cell disease, sharing their lived experiences navigating these innovative treatments.
  • It Happened To Me: Co-hosted by Cathy Gildenhorn and Beth Glassman, this podcast tells authentic stories from patients and families dealing with rare diseases and other medical challenges, building a supportive community through real-life experiences.
  • DNA Dialogues: The official podcast of the Journal of Genetic Counseling offers in-depth analysis of the latest research in genetic counselling, featuring discussions with leading authors and researchers in the field.
  • Demystifying Genetics: Dr. Matt Burgess is joined by fellow genetic experts to explore human clinical genetics, ethics, psychosocial issues, and more.

  • PhenoTips Speaker Series: Hosted by Kira Dineen, it features thought leaders in genetics and bioinformatics, discussing cutting-edge technologies, techniques, and best practices in genetic counselling, clinical genetics, and more.

Upcoming shows include one exploring the intersection of health science and religion and another providing a platform for voices in the rare disease community.

Kira Dineen, CEO of Gene Pool Media says: “As someone who has spent over a decade producing and hosting science podcasts, the creation of Gene Pool Media is a natural next step for me.

“This new network will not only allow us to continue producing high-quality, educational content but also bring together a community of voices that will collaborate to elevate science communication.

“Having these shows under one network makes perfect sense, as each podcast has a unique angle, but all share a commitment to advancing our understanding of genetics and healthcare.

“We’re excited to make it easier for listeners to access diverse, high-quality content that both educates and inspires.”
