Abstract
- Aim: To deliver an independent, weekly JournalClub including contemporaneous articles with expert analysis, in an original and engaging format. Method(s): The Oncology Journal Club Podcast is recorded weekly covering recent articles with a mix between information and analysis. It is available via Google/ Apple Podcast, Spotify and via the Oncology News Australia website. There are two alternating formats, each featuring a host (ES) and two co-hosts (CU and HP: representing rural/regional and international oncology). The first consists of several 5-7 minute 'in depth' reviews of a recent publication, followed by a related guest interview (e.g. one of the authors), then Quick Bites (1-minute outlines of practice changing publications) and PBS Update. The alternate format involves themed episodes,with relevant publications and/or guest interviews, produced without specific funding by an independent oncology news service (RB). Complementary special extended interview podcasts are also available. The podcast is recorded voluntarily by the hosts/co-hosts, with a unique format and tone based on easy interaction and banter, identifying the key issues of the papers and how they impact practice. Result(s): As of August 10, 2020, 11 episodes of the Oncology Journal Club podcast have been produced, covering 123 papers and featuring 10 interviewees. There have been > 5000 downloads (from >400 to >1000 per episode) from 31 countries. The discussion covers 13 major tumour types, supportive care, technology,COVID-19, diet, geriatric oncology, equality, immunotherapy and targeted therapies. Feedback from listeners comprises >50 comments which reflect the accessibility of the format, e.g. The podcast is brilliant. This is my favourite way to do Journal Club (CEO of an Australian National Cancer Organisation). Conclusion(s): The Oncology JournalClub Podcast is a novel educational platform that has gained a significant following in Australia, delivering analysis of contemporary cancer
