Podcasts
Podcasts are maybe the best thing ever to have happened for busy people still trying to learn. They lower the activation energy of learning. They make it easy to acquire new knowledge and learn from experts. Moreover, podcasts open up time to learn when it was previously impossible. Many people listen to podcasts in the car, at the gym, in the shower or other times when reading was impossible. It turns frustrating time in traffic into productivity time you wish you could have more of!
Like with blogs, there are many choices in FOAMed world. And also as with blogs, it is helpful to have an app on your phone to keep track and automatically download new episodes. For Apple users this is easy. iOS has a built in podcast app as a part of iTunes. All major EM and Critical Care podcasts are listed on iTunes and can be easily added just by searching for them.
For Android users, it is a little more complicated. You have to install a third party app to manage podcasts. I personally use Pocket Casts, which has a great search tool and can sync across phones and tablets. I have also heard that Beyond Pod is an excellent choice.
Whether you use Android or Apple, it is easiest to simply search for each podcast by name inside the app. For that reason, the shows listed below are just names, not links. This is just a sampling, there are many others. Let me if you want yours added - just send me a Tweet.
