Coronavirus: Fact vs Fiction was launched in early March 2020, in the early days of the pandemic when misinformation was rampant and listeners were desperate for reliable medical reporting. CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta shared the latest news about the coronavirus pandemic, spoke with the experts, and gave you all the information you needed to stay safe and healthy. The podcast was named one of Apple's Biggest New Shows of 2020, won a Shorty Social Good Award for Best Podcast, the Sigma Delta Chi Award for Podcasting Excellence in 2020, an EPPY Award for Best Podcast in 2020, and the Webby Award for Best Science & Education Podcast in 2021.
As founding producer, Zoë helped develop and launch the daily podcast on an extremely fast-tracked 2-day timeline. During the show's 14-month run, she produced 60+ episodes from start to finish: research, pitching, booking guests, interviewing, scripting, editing, engineering recordings, fact-checking, and sound design.
In the show's final two months, Zoë oversaw production as Senior Producer and led the podcast's successful rebranding as a weekly wellness program, Chasing Life.
