You may be interested in a blog providing various podcasts in nursing education from a US colleague, Margaret Maag at:
http://margaretspod.blogspot.com/
which uses mp3 format for lectures & interviews (particularly related to health informatics)
Declaration of bias - I was one of the first interviewed & made available on the blog - this was using skype & the quality is not ideal, but it was an interesting experience.

Podcasts & vodcasts - users starting to "educate themselves"

For some time, health professionals have needed to stay current with
what's happening in medicine (see my "Current Awareness Page" for some
of
the more traditional SDI tools I use in my classes).
Last month, a number of doctors, nurses and pharmacists asked about
PubMed's RSS feeds. How can RSS feeds be used to stay current? (By the
way, to my knowledge, Google scholar does not offer an SDI service or
RSS
feeds. Correct me if I'm wrong~!)
Now it seems podcasting is on the medical agenda. Podcasting is a means
of
distributing audio and video programs via web "feeds", much like RSS
text/web-based feeds. You can even search for New England Journal of
Medicine (or other podcasts) @ podcast.net.
The medical profession - and health librarians - are starting to educate
themselves about podcasts, particularly in CME and reading the
literature. Will health professionals one day prefer to "hear about" new
research via iPods, rather than searching for the literature in MEDLINE
&
Google Scholar?
ps. Meanwhile, the experimental search tool - Speechbot - using
voice-recognition to search transcripts from thousands of files of audio
has failed. According to rumours, Google is working on some kind of
voice-activated searching.
