Inside the FP Story Podcast: Send Us Your Questions!


The Inside the FP Story podcast explores the details of family planning programming. With a different partner each season, Knowledge SUCCESS explores issues from youth reproductive health services to elements of family planning success among country programs around the world. In the next season of the podcast, we will answer questions from our listeners. 

Knowledge SUCCESS, with support from USAID, launched Inside the FP Story in April 2021. We developed the podcast with the family planning workforce, for the family planning workforce. The podcast features open and honest conversations with guests from around the world. It unpacks what works—and what does not work—in family planning programming. We have released three seasons so far. Our most recent was published in April/May 2022 on the topic of gender integration in family planning programs.

Inside the FP StorySend us your thoughts!

For the next few episodes, we are trying something new: We are asking you, our Inside the FP Story listeners, to send in your questions and comments. We will feature them in question-and-answer episodes.

Do you have a burning question for our team or one of our guests? Or maybe you have your own story to share about a challenge or experience working in family planning? Email them to us at info@knowledgesuccess.org—or tweet us @fprhknowledge—by June 30, and your entry may be featured on the podcast.

We look forward to hearing from you!
