Guest guest Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 Hi Lou, For an early adopter, I find it amazingly difficult to keep up with new online/technology stuff….(In Sunday school a few weeks ago had to ask what an Ipod was…don’t even know if I spelled that right) I don’t watch TV, don’t read much besides medical stuff and all these emails…What exactly IS a podcast, and what makes it better than listservs or blogs or whatever other options are out there? Annie Podcasts anyone?? I'm getting ready to try to test some software for podcasting. So, I'm looking for volunteers who I can call up from my computer for testing purposes. One test would be just myself and someone else on a conversation, perhaps five minutes being recorded (I am going to use a program called Gizmo to call from the computer And a Program Called Audacity to edit). Another test would be to have a conference with two or more individuals, which also would be recorded. The idea behind this would be to spread topics and ideas using podcasting. For instance, we (a few interested doctors), might get together and talk about virtual office visits for 15 or 20 minutes. This could then be posted. So, if someone else would like to know about virtual office visits we could say-yes we did a podcast on that topic two months ago. Any takers?

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 Does sound interesting. I have an iPod, but haven’t used if for anything but music yet. A.

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 I would be interested in trying it. I downloaded Gizmo http://www.gizmoproject.com/index.html and installed it. My username is alcald2000 I think I found your name by using the " Search for Members " feature and added you to my contact list. I will be off line most of the time until Tuesday, but will try to leave it on then. I also have " Audacity " http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ that you mentioned. I used it to create an .mp3 sound file that I then merged into my flash demo for the Tkfp project. I used a program called vnc2swf http://www.unixuser.org/~euske/vnc2swf/ to create the flash recording of the screen activity and then merged the .mp3 file into the flash file that I created with vnc2swf . It might be interesting to make a flashmovie if you have any computer screen activity you would like to show to other people. I noticed Gizmo is supposed to work with " asterix " an open source PBX project. I was thinking about trying that someday for creating some automated phone messages to send to patients, such as for reminding them about up-coming appointments etc. Caldwell > > I'm getting ready to try to test some software for podcasting.

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 I listen to Podcasts all the time. IT Conversations has some great ones on a very broad range of topics. Highly recommended. www.itconversations.com New England Journal of Medicine has a Podcast summary of each Issue that you can get emailed to you for free (You don’t need to be a subscriber to NEJM). That is also a good Podcast. It is about 12-15 minutes long. Podcasts are recordings just like other any MP3 song recording. Instead of listening to music you listen to interesting lectures, conversations, interviews. And by the way, they are all free! Back to your question about doing Podcasts on Practice topics, I think it could be good if it was done well. Doing it well would mean good content as well as good production values for the recording itself. I hope the above helps. Jeff Jeff Harries, MD General Practice Penticton, B.C.

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 Exactly! Although the iPod had a lot to do with fueling this movement, from my reading it's not specifically involved in the name. Podcasting could be defined as personal on-demand narrowcasting-that is narrowcasting to a select audience rather than broadcasting to everybody. I think I'm interested in getting at this in two different directions. : With this group, I would like to start simply and see if we can get a few test podcast going. I think if Caldwell is interested, we will do five or 10 minutes of discussion on homebrew electronic health record systems, what he has developed, can it be expanded to others etc. I will find a way to post this for all to comment. Having it reasonable to listen to is my goal-be patient and provide feedback. Presently, I would like to start a list of topics that can be discussed. The other direction is through the AAFP-these type of podcasts might involve this group as well as others. Probably will end up being more professional (although perhaps at a slower pace of development). I will be going to Kansas City in January and will know more about this after the visit.

Guest guest Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 One great way to get podcasts is to download a free podcast reciever like Juice: http://juicereceiver.sourceforge.net/index.php You can then " subscribe " to different podcasts by going to different websites that produce them and plugging them into your reciever. Every now and then, you click an " update podcasts " button in your reciever, and the software goes out to all of your " Subscriptions " and downloads the latest podcasts. You can listen to the podcasts right on your computer or transfer them to any MP3 player. I put mine on my verizon cell phone. There are a growing number of medical podcasts out there. The best one I have found is out of s Hopkins http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/mediaII/podcasts They do a weekly rundown of medical headlines. Each edition is about 10-15 minutes long. AAFP has posted a few podcasts also at: http://www.aafp.org/online/en/home/publications/news/news- now/aboutann/podcast.rss.xml But they have been few and far between. > > I listen to Podcasts all the time.

Guest guest Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 Speaking about podcasts on practice improvemnt: I like the quadrillion of podcasts on http://www.soundpractice.net/ . They are free! I listen to them when I walk to work (yes, I can do that). As a starter, try this podcast with a person we all know: http://www.soundpractice.net/article.cfm?id=217 Marius > > I am also interested. I also want to tout the wonders of the podcast.

Guest guest Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 I checked out Gizmo. Kind of like Skype, I guess, or like Onebox, only cheaper. Will keep this in mind.
