iHeartPodcasts has announced a new original series, “Health Stuff,” which aims to bring humor and clarity to medical conversations. The podcast will be hosted by Dr. Priyanka Wali and comedian Hari Kondabolu.
Each week, the hosts will address health topics such as sleep apnea, obesity, diabetes, and maternal health. They will separate evidence-based treatments from popular trends and keep listeners informed on recent research. Sometimes the show features expert guests; at other times, Wali and Kondabolu break down current health headlines into accessible discussions. According to iHeartPodcasts, listeners can expect “real, uninhibited, thoroughly fact-checked health talk of the highest caliber.”
The new show is produced by iHeartPodcasts and joins its established lineup of “Stuff” shows like “Stuff You Should Know,” “Tech Stuff,” and “Stuff You Missed in History Class.” This move expands the brand’s reach into science-focused content.
Dr. Priyanka Wali is a board-certified physician in Internal Medicine and Obesity Medicine with experience integrating traditional and non-traditional healing practices. Her clinical approach includes training in Compassionate Inquiry with Dr. Gabor Maté, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy through Polaris Insight Center, and psychedelic research facilitation at the University of California, San Francisco.
Wali is also known for her work as a comedian. She was recognized by Refinery29 as one of “50 Female Stand-Up Comedians You Need To Know” and has been featured on outlets including The Today Show, Women’s Health Magazine, Business Insider, Uproxx, Cosmopolitan, India Currents Magazine, and Healthline. Previously she co-hosted the podcast “HypochondriActor” with Sean Hayes.
Hari Kondabolu is a comedian described by The New York Times as “one of the most exciting political comics in stand-up today.” He has released several comedy specials such as “Vacation Baby” on Hulu and “Warn Your Relatives” on Netflix. Kondabolu regularly appears on NPR’s “Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me!” He also co-hosted the podcast “Politically Reactive” with W. Kamau Bell and recently hosted Netflix’s food competition show “Snack vs Chef.”
“Health Stuff” episodes will be released every Wednesday on the iHeartRadio app as well as other major podcast platforms.
