Staatsburg, New York…Anderson Foundation for Autism’s executive leadership team announced today that it has developed a new strategy and brand for its longstanding podcast.
Hosted by Eliza Bozenski, LMSW, Chief Development Officer of Anderson Foundation for Autism, the radio show, named for autism incidence rates since its inception in 2012, will now be called “1 in 31: Autism Today.” Produced by Pamal Broadcasting in Beacon, NY, episodes have featured celebrity guests such as Dr. Temple Grandin, renowned doctors like Dr. Kristin Sohl, local professionals such as Ashley Quitoni (Adaptive CrossFit 845), along with families, advocates, behavioral therapists, educators, documentary filmmakers, and more.
Said Patrick Paul, CEO/Executive Director of Anderson Center for Autism, “Over the past decade-plus, Eliza’s interviews have helped raise tremendous awareness about autism, from how it presents to what programs can optimize the quality of life for those diagnosed. The show provides a unique platform for us to highlight experts, thought leaders, families, and so many others who are working to advance our mission. As the audience has grown, particularly more recently, it started to become clear to Eliza and her development team at Anderson that the show was ready for a more comprehensive strategy.”
Bozenski added, “So many listeners have commented on how much they have learned from our podcast; we believe that we have a responsibility to get this content in front of as many people as possible and knew it was time to think about ways to expand our reach. Renaming the show 1 in 31: Autism Today will help those searching for podcasts specific to autism more easily find us.”
She continued, “Given the fact that Anderson Center for Autism has become a resource for people from all over our country and the world, it is time we position the podcast to play a more prominent role in the national and international conversation about all things related to autism.”
Examples of upcoming guests include Lauren Allen from SUNY Empire and author Brigitte Shipman, who is also a parent of an autistic child. “1 in 31: Autism Today” airs on Pamal Broadcasting stations in the Hudson Valley region of New York, such as WGHQ, WBPM, WHUD, and WGNY. It can also be streamed on Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, Boomplay, iHeart, Podbean, Podchaser, Spotify, and YouTube.
In addition to serving as Chief Development Officer at Anderson Foundation for Autism and host of 1 in 31: Autism Today, Bozenski serves as a trustee on the Boards of RUPCO and the Mead School. The resident of Rhinebeck, New York holds Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Miami University of Ohio, and a Master’s Degree in Clinical Social Work from Columbia University.
