Inside: Looking for a podcast to hear from your peers and get the latest updates in health care? These pharmacy podcasts are for pharmacists by pharmacists.
Have you listened to a podcast?
Chances are you have considering that 112 million Americans listened to a podcast as of 2017.
And, 42 million Americans listen to podcasts weekly. This is a staggering number considering it represents nearly 15 percent of the U.S. population.
A podcast is a series of episodes that a user can download and listen to on a smartphone, tablet, laptop or computer.
One or multiple people host each episode of a podcast. Formats can include a single host speaking, co-hosts discussing, interviews, roundtables and more. All podcasts seek to entertain, inform and inspire listeners to subscribe and tune in episode after episode.
Podcasts provide a unique way of consuming information or entertainment. You can listen to them on-the-go. Like when you’re driving to the pharmacy. While running after work. Or when you’re scarfing down your lunch before heading back behind-the-counter.
Podcast topics include everything from exercising to American history to comedy. But did you know pharmacy podcasts exist, too?
Pharmacy podcasts can help you dive deeper into your profession and learn from experts in the field.
Listen in to these relatable pharmacy podcasts.
