Where we are today
Anticipated to launch in winter of 2025, “Living Chronically” episodes will be available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, Youtube, Stitcher, Spotify, Pandora, iHeart Radio, and other popular listing platforms.
Living Chronically is produced in the Democracy Lab Podcast Studio of the Department of Communication in UC San Diego's School of Social Sciences. Ongoing programming is dependent upon the generous contributions of listeners and the philanthropic community.
The podcast is supported, in part, by San Diego area residents Andrew and Esther Schorr, known for their decades-long work in advocating for patients and caregivers. The couple have touched the lives of many patients as the producers of videos and as hosts of online health news programming. They have received numerous national awards for the quality and impact of their work. Andrew Schorr is the author of “The Web-Savvy Patient: An Insider's Guide to Navigating the Internet When Facing Medical Crisis,” published in 2011. As founders of the educational site PatientPower.info, the Schorrs aim to empower cancer patients to become informed and active healthcare consumers.
Support for “Living Chronically” also comes from Cathi White, a medical communications strategist with more than 30 years of experience and a deep dedication to patients with serious illnesses. She has served as a vice president of award-winning patient education platforms including patientpower.info.
Philanthropic support for “Living Chronically” will allow students to learn the craft of podcasting as they highlight the experiences of patients living with chronic conditions. The generosity of the donors in supporting Living Chronically paves the way for phenomenal opportunities for UC San Diego students to make a difference.
