We’re excited to announce that in 2026, Freshrb Health Media and Manchester Local Care Organisation (MLCO) will release a groundbreaking new podcast series: Cardio Conversations.

This series is designed to demystify cardiovascular disease (CVD) and make heart health accessible for everyone, especially communities across Manchester who continue to face some of the highest CVD rates in the UK. Built on real stories, expert insights, and practical advice, Cardio Conversations is all about empowering people with the knowledge they need to prevent heart disease through everyday changes like better food choices, moving more, managing stress, and understanding the importance of regular health checks.

What makes this series truly special is the people behind it. We’ve brought together Manchester’s health community which includes GPs, public health experts, fitness professionals, community leaders, and individuals with lived experiences to share honest conversations rooted in culture, reality, and hope. Expect episodes that are insightful, relatable, funny, and sometimes emotional, but always focused on inspiring positive action. Whether you’re tuning in on your morning walk or winding down after work, Cardio Conversations will give you the tools and motivation to take charge of your heart health. Stay tuned for the launch, follow us on Spotify and YouTube, and get ready for a series that brings science, community, and storytelling together like never before.
