It's Dr, Actually
Stories and ideas from the people changing our world.
Launching 2nd September 2026
New episode every first Wednesday of the month
Hosted by Jacqueline Malcolm, It’s Dr, Actually is a bold, curious, and accessible podcast that puts doctors and PhD holders center stage — not as distant academics, but as passionate humans whose ideas, research, and work are actively shaping the future of our planet.
View our latest work from September 2026
Each episode features an in-depth conversation with a doctoral expert from any discipline—science, technology, health, climate, arts, education, economics, social justice, industry, and beyond. The goal is not just to explain what they study, but why it matters—to society, to industry, and to the Earth itself.
This podcast demystifies expertise, celebrates intellectual curiosity, and amplifies voices working to influence real-world outcomes at a critical moment in our shared global story.
Titles tell you who they are. Stories show you why they matter.
