Internet distribution of digital audio has revolutionized
the music industry. The channels currently available for dissemination
of audio materials present a unique opportunity to readily deliver educational
audiocasts to wide audience. Educational lectures can be broadcast and
downloaded through a process known as "Podcasting". First developed
by former MTV V-jay Adam Curry, Podcasts can be downloaded and played
in any device that can play mp3 files. These digital recordings are easy
and inexpensive to create, circulate and play, using a computer or a handheld
digital music player. For the busy practicing radiologist, this is a novel
means to obtain educational audiocasts with versatile listening options.
The purpose of this exhibit is to describe in detail the procedure for
creating, distributing and downloading a Podcast, and discuss the potential
utility. |
