Podcasts are a popular, easy- listening format for experts to share views, host conversations with other experts, and impart knowledge. They are similar to radio broadcasts, consisting of downloadable audio files, and are generally part of a themed series. The CTC-SRH’s podcasts are aimed at sexual and reproductive health clinicians and other staff members who are looking for current and easily digested segments of information that can be accessed from both computers and mobile devices.
The CTC-SRH produces regular podcast episodes on a variety of topics, such as preventing congenital syphilis or basic infertility services. Our podcast, Clinical Chats, is the overarching name for all our episodes, and it encompasses several sub-series, including Reproductive Justice, Addressing Pregnancy-Associated Deaths, and Coding with Ann.
The CTC-SRH’s podcast was formerly called The Family Planning Files and is now known as Clinical Chats: A Podcast for Sexual and Reproductive Health Care Providers, or just Clinical Chats for short. This new podcast name has been changed to align with our new program’s name, which now includes the term ‘sexual and reproductive health’ instead of ‘family planning.’
New episodes are shaped by current educational needs in the field, emerging health trends and issues, new technologies, and guidance from our Grantee Clinical Leadership Advisory Council. The variety of topics ensures there is an episode of interest for anyone, and the experts featured come from a variety of backgrounds and places in the US.
One to two podcast episodes are released every month and can be found on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, and other major streaming platforms for easy on-the-go listening. All the podcast episodes can also be streamed directly from our website.

The CTC-SRH is committed to supporting Title X grantees, sub-recipients, and service sites in providing sexual and reproductive care that is high quality, equitable, and accessible. To do so, we have created this podcast series that focuses on reproductive justice and how clinicians can apply this framework to their clinical practice.
The CTC-SRH aligns with Sister Song’s definition of reproductive justice as the right to maintain bodily autonomy, to have or not have offspring, and the ability to parent those offspring in safe environments. These podcasts are aimed at anyone who works in sexual and reproductive care, especially in patient-facing roles, such as clinicians, health educators, or clinical support staff.
