The podcast, which launched in the summer of 2018, is an extension of the A Healthier Michigan blog, and aims to educate and inform listeners about better health practices.
Beckie Christensen, director, External Affairs, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan feels the recognition exemplifies, “the value of the podcast as a communications platform.” In 2019, the show grew from 18 to 30 episodes, and downloads were just shy of tripling from the previous year.
