PalCast
palmd | August 8, 2009It's true that I don't have a lot of free time on my hands, but last nights UStream event with the crew was lots of fun. Isis and Arikia have been hosting a regular Friday night get-together on UStream, which is a total blast, but last night Isis couldn't tear herself away from her hot, hot science to host. As an experiment, I opened up a UStream channel and we happily chatted far to late into the evening.
And...the format is interesting. I can broadcast live video, and have a parallel text chat. This got me thinking. There are one or two online doctor shows (OK, only one that I know…
palmd | July 19, 2009Yes, the new PalCast is finally up. Get it through the feed or on iTunes. Perfect for 18min30sec car rides!

palmd | May 25, 2009It's now up. It's a good one. One link in particular that was discussed is here. Go and read, then go and listen.
palmd | April 30, 2009I'd like to remind everyone that the PalCast, after a brief hiatus, is up and running again. Given the chaos of life and work (and the fact that work is likely to get even busier very, very soon) the schedule may be a tiny bit erratic, but tune it...you might like it.
The PalCast (coined by Isis the Scientist) is my weekly (more or less) podcast about medicine, real life, and anything else I feel like. The link above allows you to add it to listen in any way you prefer, including iTunes. I'm promoting it because I like it...I don't have sponsors or anything (although if Peet's Coffee wants…
palmd | April 12, 2009The PalCast is, obviously, a little behind. Due to real-life problems, it's been tough to find the 90 minutes of solitude and quiet necessary to crank out a decent podcast. However, I do have one in the hopper for this week...hopefully it will be out by tomorrow or so.
Thanks for your patience.
palmd | March 15, 2009OK, folks, PalCast #8 is up and ready...it's the "road edition"...just listen and you'll see what I mean. Once again, thank you Isis for the name. Remember that the feedburner site allows you to subscribe on iTunes as well as your favorite feed reader.
Feel free to c'mon back here to discuss the 'cast.
palmd | February 28, 2009It's up and ready! It's maybe not my best, but I'm getting used to my new equipment and I've been out of the podcasting biz for a while.
Feel free to come back here and discuss.
palmd | January 17, 2009OK, in all the recent chaos, I finally got PalCast # 5 out. It touches on some wide-ranging issues: the screwed up US health care system, pooled risk, hospitalists, and the ethics of being a doctor-blogger.
