The Pitt CSD Podcast is a student-run podcast designed to educate clinicians and trainees in CSD (Series 1) and to orient listeners from every walk of life to the rich tapestry of human communication experiences (Series 2).

Research Unpacked

Research Unpacked is designed to bridge the knowledge gap between research and clinical practice in the field of communication science and disorders (CSD). Hosted by CSD PhD students at the University of Pittsburgh, each episode invites expert guests who are researchers to walk our listeners through a peer-reviewed research article of the guest’s choosing. Similar to a journal club, our discussion will discuss the relevant background that informs the present research and review the articles’ hypotheses, methods, results, and discussions. Most importantly, each Research Unpacked episode aims to provide clinicians with a better understanding of the field’s research and evidence-based take-home points that they can implement right away in their clinical practice.

Lived Communication Experiences

Modeled on NPR’s popular Storycorps podcast, the Lived Communication Experiences series features Pitt CSD MA-SLP and AUD students and alumni who help individuals tell their own human communication stories. Those stories might be told by patients living with, recovering from, and accepting their communication and aerodigestive disorders, or by anyone who wants to hold up and celebrate the differences and diversity of communication that are unique to them. If you want to help tell a lived communication experience story, email us at pittcsdpodcast@gmail.com and tell us a little about the story you’d like to tell!
