Queensland Health’s My Amazing Body podcast has been downloaded more than 250,000 times, topping the Australian podcast charts in its various categories.
The podcast, now in its second successful season, is a leading source of information across the nutrition, health and fitness, science and education categories on Australian and New Zealand Apple and Spotify podcast charts.
Twice last year My Amazing Body reached the top position of Australia’s Apple podcast charts in the Health and Fitness category. In November 2020, the podcast also achieved the number one position on the Apple charts in Australia in the Nutrition category.
Individual episodes also performed well, with the bowel, liver and pain episodes figuring within the top three positions of the Apple Charts in Australia in the health and fitness category.
Executive Director, Strategic Communications at Queensland Health, Robert Hoge said people trusted Queensland Health and in times like these wanted to hear directly from the Department.
“It’s quite the achievement to see so many people listening to our content and choosing to get their health information from Queensland’s world-class clinicians,” Mr Hoge said.
“Queensland Health has been a trusted source of information throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, and My Amazing Body is another way people can learn more about their health through reliable and interesting content led by our health experts.”
He said the podcast was helping to build health literacy and make the State a healthier place.
