Dipping a toe into podcast soup (or something unusually clean from Fascinating Aida)

Actually this is a post about flipped learning resources but as podcasting is so popular now I prefer to think of it as emulating Fascinating Aida and getting Down With the Kids! (see below...)




I am renewing some of the resources on the obstetric module of the ultrasound course and decided to go down the podcasting route.  In the past the online content has been video lectures which are excellent but now need replacing.  With ubiquitous smartphones and apparently endless data, podcasts, along with ultrasound images on the university virtual learning environment give the freedom to listen and think while out and about, doing the washing up, sitting on the bus...

The podcast is a starting point, covering the basic information and can be followed up by deeper reading.

Anyway, this is my first attempt.  Review by my home based critics suggested that I sound as if I am broadcasting from under a table deep in enemy territory but everyone has to start somewhere!  I may not be exactly down with the kids yet... (All constructive criticism is welcome - either here or on twitter.

(Note - this podcast references the 2012 NICE GG154 on ectopic pregnancy and miscarriage.  This guideline has now been replaced by 2019 NICE NG126 Ectopic pregnancy and miscarriage: diagnosis and initial management.)
