Podcasts are a great source for industry news, professional development and enriching interviews with leaders in the dental and veterinary field. Best of all, podcasts are free. All you need is an app on your mobile device or internet access to listen.

If you have never listened to a podcast and do not know where to start, here are three ways you can tune in.

Apple Podcasts

For iPhone users, podcasts can be accessed and listened to through Apple’s Podcasts app. This app comes installed on all iPhones and provides a simple way for iPhone users to listen to podcasts. Using the Podcasts app, you can listen to and download individual episodes and set your favorite podcasts to download automatically whenever a new episode is released.

Google Play Music

If you have an Android device, you can listen to podcasts using the Google Play music streaming app. This app comes preinstalled on Android devices, and, like Apple’s Podcast app, provides a simple way for you to access and listen to podcasts. In addition, you can subscribe and download new episodes as they are released. Another benefit of Google Play is that the app can run in your web browser, allowing you to listen from your laptop or desktop computer.

SoundCloud

Some podcasts are also published and shared online through SoundCloud. You can listen to new episodes right from your laptop or desktop computer using your web browser, or you can stream and download podcast episodes using SoundCloud Go. The SoundCloud Go app is available through both Apple’s App Store and Google Play.
