John Snow: podcast appearances and interviews

John Snow (15 March 1813 – 16 June 1858) was an English physician recognized as a pioneer in public health. He contributed significantly to the development of anaesthesia and medical hygiene. Snow is credited as one of the founders of modern epidemiology and early germ theory. His work in tracing the source of a cholera outbreak in London's Soho was instrumental; he identified a particular public water pump as the source of the disease. Snow's investigations led to substantial changes in London's water and waste systems, which subsequently influenced sanitation improvements in other cities worldwide. His contributions helped foster a broader understanding of disease transmission and public health.
