We hit our 10th episode by tackling two big tensions in health communication: AI’s fingerprints on our writing and images, and the real work of turning data into stories that lead to decisions. We end with a thoughtful look at trauma‑informed storytelling and a few fun extras for our listeners.
• em dashes and other AI tells
• what storytelling means beyond personal anecdotes
• how to turn data into decisions with “so what”
• a lightning talk example that finds the real message
• ethics of lived experience and long‑term consent
• two new coloring books!
