Kinara’s year-end roundup of its 2025 podcast and video programming highlights conversations with multiple CEOs and senior commercial executives. The piece also previews Kinara’s early-2026 lineup, with the podcast returning in the first week of 2026 and “Five Questions with…” a week after that.
When we sit down to plan Kinara’s audio and video content, a single question serves as our guiding principle: Who are we most eager to hear from? In 2025, the answers to that question included six A-list pharma CEOs, two U.S. market presidents, a global chief customer officer and heads of functions ranging from omnichannel marketing to external affairs to commercial digital products.
For those with some listening and/or viewing time to spare during the year’s last week, we present this compilation of Kinara’s 2025 audio and video output. The Kinara podcast will return the first week of 2026 with a conversation between co-editor Dr. Chase Feiger and Collegium Pharmaceuticals president and CEO Vikram Karnani. Five Questions with… will return the week after that, starring Compass Pathways chief commercial officer Lori Englebert.
Thanks, as always, for your engagement and feedback. Here’s to plenty of thoughtful dialogue during the year ahead.
