BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS, UNITED STATES, February 16, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Nonprofit, Reach Out and Read (ROR) announced today that its podcast, ‘Reach Out and Read Podcast’ has been named the Silver Award winner in the health category in the second annual Anthem Awards.

At Reach Out and Read, we dream of a world in which every child is read to every day. The podcast focuses on the belief that reading aloud with children helps with brain development, builds strong family bonds and creates happy and healthy children and a healthier society. The podcast is an extension of the organization’s work nationwide.

“The goal of the podcast was to increase public awareness of our work and share with the wider world these incredible conversations we get to have inside the organization with partners on the benefits of reading with children,” said Dipesh Navsaria, M.D., host of the podcast. “We have spoken with guests including pediatricians, authors and experts on everything from literacy to censorship to parenting to picture book art. The podcast has uncovered a wealth of information on building strong parent-child relationships from the earliest days, and in telling those stories, we hope we will support caregivers and children for generations.”

The podcast, currently in its third year has published 70 episodes to date. Along with the podcast host is Jill Ruby, the Series Producer and Jen Tegan, the Director of Marketing and Communications. ‘The Reach Out and Read Podcast’ joins actor Billy Porter, advocate Gabrielle Giffords, and former First Lady, Michelle Obama, and many others as a recipient of an Anthem Award.
