Johns Hopkins Medicine is pleased to announce its new health podcast, a lively discussion of the week’s medical news and how it may affect you. This five to seven-minute free program features Rick Lange, M.D., chief of clinical cardiology, and Elizabeth Tracey, director of the Hopkins Health NewsFeed, a radio news service program.
A podcast is an audio recording posted online, much like a short radio show. Podcasting is a method of publishing audio and video programs via the Internet that lets users subscribe to a feed of new files (usually MP3s). What makes podcasting special is that it allows individuals to publish (podcast) radioshows, that interested listeners can subscribe to. With podcasts, now you can automatically receive new shows, without having to go to a specific site and download it from there. You need an application, commonly called a "podcatcher" (a type of aggregator), to download new content automatically and organize podcasts. For a sample list of podcatchers, go to http://feeds.feedburner.com/jhmpodcast You can subscribe to the Johns Hopkins Podcast, by visiting: http://feeds.feedburner.com/jhmpodcast You don't have to use a podcatcher to listen to the JHMedicine podcast. Each week you can visit: http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/mediaII/Podcasts.html for the latest podcast.
