Creating and Maintaining a Health Professions Podcast with Rebecca Muller and Rachael Thompson
It seems reasonable to say that most people have heard of podcasts, and many have listened to at least one. But have you ever heard of pubcasts? A pubcast is similar to a podcast
but it focuses on discussing a research project directly with the researcher(s). You might want to think of it as a cross between a podcast interview and a journal club. It gives listeners the opportunity to hear not only the research results but also discover
the experiences of the researcher as they undertook this journey.
Do you listen to podcasts? Chances are, you probably have a few go-to podcasters that you tune in to on a regular basis. Podcasting has become a very popular way of exchanging information and making connections. But have you ever wondered
what goes into creating and maintaining a health professions podcast? We sat down with Rebecca Muller and Rachael Thompson, who founded the Meet the PAs podcast, to learn what inspired them to undertake this labour of love and how they manage to maintain it
while leading busy professional careers and also living in two different cities. Curious to learn more? Grab a coffee, sit back, and have a listen to a podcast about podcasting. Very meta, as the kids would say...
