I’ve become quite a fan of the weekly Director’s podcasts from the National Library of Medicine (NLM).
These mini radio programs are a terrific resource for people of all ages, but adult children and their parents will find they provide a helpful introduction to the National Library of Medicine and Medline Plus. The podcasts used to be narrated by NLM director Donald A.B. Lindberg, M.D. but now they are read by NLM staff member Rob Logan, Ph.D., a member of Dr. Lindberg’s library staff. Users encounter the image above when they search for the “casts” in iTunes.
The NLM podcasts are short, informative, easy to understand, and simple to download to a listening device, via iTunes. It’s not uncommon for a program to cite current research and explain its importance and relevance, so a listener can easily locate the research after listening.
Below I’ve uploaded an image from iTunes — the easiest place to download the “casts.” You can also listen to the most NLM recent podcasts as well as read a transcript at MedlinePlus.
