Effective Date: February 17, 2026
This website is owned and operated by Mission Based Media LLC ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"), with a principal place of business at 30 N Gould St Ste R, Sheridan, WY 82801-6317, United States.
This Disclaimer, along with the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, governs your use of HealthPodcast.org and its affiliated websites: healthpodcastlibrary.com, healthpodcastawards.com, healthpodcastsummit.com, and healthpodcastshow.com (collectively, the "Platform").
By using the Platform, you agree to this Disclaimer. If you don't agree, don't use the Platform.
For Educational and Informational Purposes Only
Everything on this Platform—podcast listings, descriptions, recommendations, all content—is for educational and informational purposes only.
The Platform is a discovery tool to help you find health and science podcasts. We curate podcasts we believe are from credible sources, but the Platform itself doesn't create or control podcast content.
Not Medical or Health Advice
THE PLATFORM AND THE PODCASTS LISTED DO NOT PROVIDE MEDICAL OR HEALTH ADVICE.
This is not a substitute for medical advice from a professional who knows your individual situation.
Many podcasts on our Platform discuss health and medical topics. We try to feature credible sources, but we don't verify, endorse, or guarantee the accuracy of podcast content.
Critical Medical Disclaimer
We've curated podcasts from sources we believe are credible, but you should not rely solely on podcast content for medical decisions. Always consult with a qualified healthcare professional.
IF YOU'RE EXPERIENCING A MEDICAL EMERGENCY, CALL EMERGENCY SERVICES ON 911 IMMEDIATELY. DON'T RELY ON PODCASTS OR THIS PLATFORM FOR EMERGENCIES.
This Platform is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. If you have questions about symptoms or a medical condition, seek advice from your physician or other qualified health provider. Never ignore professional medical advice or delay seeking it based on something you heard in a podcast or read on this Platform.
We're not liable for any errors in podcast content or for any harm resulting from relying on podcast information instead of seeking professional medical advice.
About Podcast Content
We don't recommend or endorse specific tests, physicians, products, procedures, or treatments mentioned in podcasts. Relying on podcast information is solely at your own risk.
Some podcasts may discuss disease states, medical conditions, or treatments. If you find this content offensive or inappropriate, don't use our Platform.
Links to external websites are at your own risk. We're not responsible for claims or medical information on external sites or from podcast creators.
Not Professional Advice
The Platform and podcasts don't provide professional advice of any kind—legal, financial, tax, business, career, or otherwise.
While podcasts may be created by professionals, and our team has professional expertise, information on the Platform isn't a substitute for advice from a professional who knows your situation.
We recommend you seek advice from qualified professionals before making important decisions.
We're not liable for any harm from failing to seek appropriate professional advice.
Not Legal Advice
Nothing on the Platform or in podcasts is legal advice. It's not a substitute for advice from a licensed attorney who knows your situation.
Consult a licensed attorney before taking legal actions. We're not liable for harm from failing to seek legal advice.
Not Financial Advice
The Platform and podcasts don't provide financial, investment, or tax advice. This isn't a substitute for advice from a qualified financial professional.
Consult qualified financial, investment, and tax professionals before making financial decisions. We're not liable for harm from failing to seek financial advice.
No Professional-Client Relationship
Using this Platform—listening to podcasts, reading descriptions, following recommendations—doesn't create a professional-client relationship between you and us, podcast creators, or anyone featured on the Platform.
The Platform is a discovery tool. Any relationship you establish with podcast creators or professionals happens independently.
Third-Party Podcast Content
Independent Creators
Podcasts on our Platform are created by independent third parties. We don't create, produce, control, or verify their content.
Not an Endorsement
Listing a podcast doesn't mean we endorse:
- The accuracy or reliability of information presented
- Views, opinions, or recommendations expressed
- Products, services, or treatments discussed
- Credentials or expertise of hosts or guests
- Sponsors or advertisers featured in podcasts
Health Content Integrity Pledge
Member podcast creators agree to our Health Content Integrity Pledge, which sets content standards. However, we don't continuously monitor compliance. Listing a member podcast doesn't guarantee current adherence to the Pledge.
Your Responsibility
It's your responsibility to:
- Evaluate podcast creators' credibility and qualifications
- Verify information through professional sources
- Think critically about podcast content
- Seek professional advice before acting on podcast information
- Understand that podcasts reflect creators' views, not ours
Your Personal Responsibility
By using this Platform, you take personal responsibility for your actions and their results.
You agree to use judgment and do your own research before acting on any information from the Platform or podcasts. This includes:
- Verifying information with professionals
- Consulting healthcare providers before health decisions
- Seeking professional advice before financial or legal decisions
- Evaluating podcast creators' credibility
- Understanding your situation may differ from podcast examples
You agree we're not liable for any harm from your use or non-use of Platform information.
No Guarantees
We make no guarantees about results from using this Platform, listening to podcasts, or following podcast information.
The Platform helps you find health and science podcasts. Your outcomes depend on your own efforts, your situation, your healthcare providers' advice, and many other factors beyond our control.
Results Vary
Results, outcomes, or experiences described by podcast hosts, guests, or listeners don't guarantee you'll get similar results. Individual results vary based on many factors:
- Individual health status and medical history
- Genetic and environmental factors
- Following professional medical advice
- Access to healthcare resources
- Many other personal circumstances
Testimonials and User Experiences
The Platform may feature testimonials or user experiences about podcasts or the Platform.
These are actual statements from users, truthfully conveyed. But they reflect individual experiences, which vary significantly.
Testimonials and experiences don't guarantee you'll get similar results from using the Platform or listening to podcasts.
Podcast Rankings and Recommendations
Algorithmic Recommendations
We may use algorithms to recommend podcasts based on your listening and preferences. These are generated automatically and aren't endorsements.
Editorial Curation
We may feature curated podcast collections, awards, or highlights. Inclusion reflects our editorial judgment about potential value to our audience, but doesn't mean:
- Verification of all podcast claims
- Endorsement of all views expressed
- Guarantee of content accuracy or completeness
- Professional recommendation to follow podcast advice
Accuracy and Errors
We try to ensure Platform information—podcast titles, descriptions, artwork, metadata—is accurate and current. But we rely on information podcast creators provide through RSS feeds.
We can't guarantee everything is error-free. You agree information may contain errors and that you'll verify information before acting on it. Don't rely solely on Platform information.
Podcast creators may change, update, or remove content anytime. We're not responsible for content changes, discontinued podcasts, or broken links.
Affiliate Relationships and Advertising
Affiliates
We may participate in affiliate marketing, earning commissions if you click affiliate links or make purchases.
We'll clearly disclose affiliate links and only affiliate with products or organizations we believe provide value.
You're responsible for investigating whether affiliate offers are right for you. Don't rely on our recommendations alone—do your own research.
Podcast Sponsors
Podcasts may contain ads, sponsorships, or promotions. We don't control, endorse, or take responsibility for:
- Ads or sponsors in podcasts
- Products or services promoted by hosts
- Commercial relationships between creators and sponsors
Awards and Recognition
The Health Podcast Awards recognize excellence in health and science podcasting based on specific criteria and judging.
However, an award doesn't mean:
- Verification of all content in awarded podcasts
- Endorsement of all views or recommendations
- Guarantee of continued quality or accuracy
- Professional recommendation to follow podcast advice
Awards honor work at a specific time. We don't continuously monitor awarded podcasts and don't guarantee ongoing quality.
