Abstract

Introduction: This paper analyses how Spanish cybermedia specialising in health use the podcast format, understood as the combination of the terms iPod and broadcasting, within their production structure as a formula for accessing segments of the population that are not inclined to receive their content. Methodology: Six specialised cybermedia considered as reference in the Spanish health sector (Diario Médico, Redacción Médica, Gaceta Médica, Con Salud, Diario Sanitario and Espacio Sanitario) were selected and the different podcasts generated and supported by each of these media on their respective websites were studied. Results: Con Salud, with three podcasts, and Redacción Médica, with seven podcasts, are the two cybermedia that use this technology. In the case of the other four, the use of this format has not been systematically recorded. Discussion: The examples of podcasts analysed show the potential to support all kinds of journalistic genres: in-depth interviews, features, news and editorial comment. They also incorporate a variety of podcasting platforms to support their distribution, including Google Podcasts, iVoox, SoundCloud and Spotify. Conclusions: A significant part of the Spanish cybermedia specialised in the health sector shows a growing interest in podcasts, a fact that, from a chronological point of view, will occur between the end of 2021 and the beginning of 2022, and which can be seen as part of the current boom of this format in all types of production sectors.
