Real Pink Podcast Launch

Susan G. Komen has launched a new podcast, Real Pink^TM, that gives listeners the opportunity to share in the stories of those affected by breast cancer. Whether it be survivors and those living with the disease, their loved ones, researchers, physicians or advocates, Real Pink speaks to all.

Debuting on Apple, iTunes, Podcast.net, Stitcher and all other podcast platforms in May, the Real Pink podcast is a weekly series that brings people together for meaningful and honest conversations about breast cancer – tackling tough, emotional or life-changing issues and topics.

Each week, host Adam Walker will interview people who have been impacted by breast cancer, or those on the front lines in the fight against the disease, including celebrities, survivors, people living with the disease, physicians, researchers and advocates to offer their personal perspectives and first-hand information and guidance. Through Real Pink, Susan G. Komen will strive to help those affected by breast cancer – including patients and the people in their lives who love them – by providing the information needed to make informed decisions.

A breast cancer diagnosis impacts every single aspect of life, including relationships, finances, jobs and everything in between. Susan G. Komen hopes that the raw discussions on Real Pink are just the start of continued conversations with friends, family, doctors, nurses and other trusted members of their team.
