Oh Gross! is a Webby-nominated podcast created and hosted by award-winning investigative producer and director Kara Kurcz. Joining her are co-hosts and fellow moms, scientist Jennie Lasater and Molly Brandenberger.

With a mix of journalistic curiosity, science, and sometimes much-needed humor, the show fearlessly explores topics ranging from colon cancer myths and lice panic to crisis communication failures and health misinformation during events like the LA fires. After decades of producing headline-making television, Kara knows the questions we avoid are often the ones we most need to ask.

Together with top experts from across the country, the team tackles the issues people whisper about but secretly Google. No topic is off-limits. No health question is too weird. Everything is on the table.
