  • Summary

  • Podcasts evolve. So do viruses and other biological threats. In response, the Bipartisan Commission on Biodefense has taken its examination of scenarios involving biological weapons, accidents, and naturally occurring pandemics to the next level and created The Biollywood Podcast. In this podcast, we talk about biological threats and the popular culture media they appear in. Since its establishment in 2014, the Commission has drawn inspiration for the scenarios in many of its reports from historical facts, current assessments, and imagined fiction. With The Biollywood Podcast, the Commission recognizes the contributions made by the entertainment industry to raising public awareness and pushing audiences to consider scenarios far beyond worst-case.
