Health Podcasts
Yesterday in Twitter, Susannah Fox from Pew was asking after health podcasts. I had most of this content over on the old Dentistry Library site, which is now gone, so I am going to instead bring some of it over here, and highlight new finds occasionally.
The range and variety of health podcasts is enormous. The many uses include audio blogs, pods by patients for patients, patient education from hospitals, general news service broadcasts and articles, and even into the realm of providing therapy and tools for concerns such as stress reduction.
