Listing is not automatic. You apply, a real person reviews the creators and organizations behind your show against the Health Content Integrity Pledge, and for shows we are considering we set up a short call. If it is a fit, we invite your show to join and it is listed, free.
For podcasters
Credible health podcasts deserve to be found.
Health Podcast Library is where people come looking for them. Over 250 shows are listed. Apply to join, and once you are listed you can feature your show with profiles for your hosts, links to everything you do, and your show displayed across the site and in listener emails.
Listing is not automatic. We review the creators and organizations behind every show, and we approve or invite the ones that meet our standards.
Free to apply and free to list. Membership plans are optional.
Why podcasts work for health
Health is hard to explain in a headline. A podcast gives time to explain, add context, and answer the questions people really have.
Listeners hear a real person. They listen in the car, in the kitchen, and on a walk.
Understanding comes before action. Nobody acts on health information they cannot grasp.
Accurate
It starts with the source. Every show in Health Podcast Library is reviewed before it is listed.
Accessible
Audio goes where screens can't. Anyone can browse and listen here. No account. No paywall.
Actionable
When people understand, they can act. They ask better questions and make better choices.
Research supports health podcasts
The evidence is clear
Healthcare professionals and patients prioritize accuracy, transparency, and credibility in medical podcasts.¹ And podcasts change what people do.
Accuracy
Healthcare professionals and caregivers both put accuracy first when evaluating medical podcasts.
Transparency
Listeners value podcasts that clearly separate evidence-based information from personal perspectives.
Credibility
Qualified podcast hosts with relevant expertise are essential for delivering credible medical education.

One thing a plan never changes.
Every show is reviewed the same way before it is listed. A plan has no effect on that review, on your listing, or on how your show is considered for awards.
A straight answer about downloads
No plan can promise you downloads, and we won't. Think of membership like a gym. We give you the room, the equipment, and the coaching. You still do the reps.

You are in credible company
Every one was reviewed before it was listed.
Shows from the American Heart Association, the American Diabetes Association, the American College of Cardiology, Mayo Clinic Press, Johns Hopkins University, Weill Cornell Medicine, Mount Sinai, and the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons are listed here.
So are shows from independent clinicians, researchers, and educators.
"As a family physician and podcast host, I think about health information from two sides: what patients need to hear, and how to reach them. The Health Podcast Library bridges that gap. In a landscape full of misinformation, it helps people find credible experts. When patients have access to this information, they walk into any exam room ready to advocate for themselves."
Dr. Bayo Curry-Winchell, MD, MS, Health advocate and host of Beyond Clinical Walls
"Health Podcast Library is like Spotify, but exclusively for credible health podcasts!"
Nurse Rosa Hart, Host of Nurse Rosa's INsights
Your work is credible. Help people find it.
Apply to get listed. It is free, and a real person reviews every show. Once you are listed, you can feature it with a plan, starting with a 14-day Creator trial.
