What Pharmacy Podcast Network does

Pharmacy Podcast Network (PPN) is a privately held, founder-led B2B media company that operates the world's largest network of podcasts dedicated to the pharmacy profession and pharmaceutical industry insiders. Founded in 2009 by Todd Eury and headquartered in Brownsville, Pennsylvania, PPN distributes 30+ podcast programs hosted by 40+ co-hosts covering clinical specialties (geriatrics, pediatrics, pain management, pharmacogenomics, maternal health, specialty pharmacy), business operations (accounting, marketing, PBM reform), and policy/advocacy topics. Content reaches 80,000+ listeners and subscribers globally through Spotify, Apple Podcasts, the pharmacypodcast.com website, and on-site coverage at major industry events including Asembia, McKesson ideaShare, and the Pennsylvania Pharmacists Association Conference.

The company's product surface spans two tiers: (1) flagship podcast series such as TWIRx (This Week in Pharmacy, hosted by founder Todd Eury), PBM Reform, Counter Talk (sponsored by Cardinal Health), NASP Podcast, Framework Focus, and PTCE Pharmacy Connect, and (2) sponsored special series including Q&A with the FDA, Data Dive with PurpleLab, Future-Ready Your Pharmacy with IPC, and Let's Talk Stigma. PPN also operates PPN Pulse, a blog delivering industry news and event coverage. The company's proprietary "Evidence-Based Podcasting" methodology, launched in September 2020, is a content-production framework rather than a software product. A December 2025 strategic partnership with Nested Knowledge will introduce AI-powered evidence synthesis into the content workflow starting in late January 2026, representing PPN's first technology-layer extension beyond audio.

PPN monetizes primarily through podcast sponsorships and advertising with pharmaceutical companies, healthcare technology vendors, and pharmacy associations, supplemented by partnership and media kit services. Pricing is quote-based, contracts are multi-year, and no rate cards are publicly disclosed. The company operates with 1-10 employees, has no disclosed external institutional investors or funding rounds, and serves three primary customer segments: (1) pharmacist and pharmacy professional listeners (the audience), (2) pharmaceutical and healthcare industry advertisers seeking to reach that audience, and (3) pharmacy associations and organizations using the platform for member education and advocacy. Major enterprise partners include Cardinal Health, Surescripts, Yaral Pharma (an IBSA subsidiary), Independent Pharmacy Cooperative, and the National Association of Specialty Pharmacy.

Direct peers

• Pharmacy Times: Pharmacy Times, published by MJH Life Sciences, is the leading pharmacy trade media brand offering news, clinical content, continuing education, and podcasts for pharmacy professionals. It is the most direct peer to PPN, competing for the same pharmacy professional audience, the same pharma sponsorship dollars, and increasingly the same audio and podcast inventory.
• Drug Topics: Drug Topics, also published by MJH Life Sciences, is a long-standing pharmacy trade publication providing news, clinical updates, and continuing education to pharmacists. It directly competes with PPN's content categories (clinical education, industry news, business strategy) for the same pharmacy professional readership and sponsor base.
• ReachMD: ReachMD is a healthcare professional media company operating one of the largest medical podcast and online broadcast networks for clinicians. It is directly comparable to PPN as a healthcare-professional-focused audio content network monetized through pharma sponsorship and continuing education, with a broader clinical audience but identical business model.

Emerging players

• The Pharmacist's Voice: The Pharmacist's Voice is a long-running pharmacy podcast hosted by Kim Newlove, providing clinical and professional development content for pharmacists. As a single-show pharmacy podcast, it competes with PPN's individual programs for the same niche audience and serves a similar content function, representing a comparable but smaller-scale direct peer.
• HelixTalk: HelixTalk is a clinical pharmacy podcast produced by Roseman University College of Pharmacy, providing evidence-based drug information for pharmacists and students. It competes with PPN's clinical content offerings (e.g., PGx for Pharmacists, Pain Pod) for the same professional audience, with similar content focus but a university-backed production model.

Broad incumbents

• Medscape: Medscape, part of WebMD/Internet Brands, is the largest healthcare professional media platform globally, offering news, clinical reference, continuing education, and audio content across all medical specialties including pharmacy. It is a broad incumbent that overlaps with PPN in pharmacy audience reach, sponsor relationships, and content categories, though it is not pharmacy-specialized.
• Doximity: Doximity is a professional network for U.S. physicians and healthcare professionals (including pharmacist members) that includes news, podcasts, and continuing education features. It represents a broad incumbent in healthcare professional media with potential overlap with PPN in audience, sponsor relationships, and content categories, while operating at substantially greater scale.
