According to the Washington Post, there are "2,000 health-related podcasts, ranging from the monotone weekly audio summary of the New England Journal of Medicine to the mellow sounds of the Marijuana Memo." That is a lot of programming and that is why I think there needs to be concerted effort on the part of somebody (librarians, computer geeks, the medical community, little green ailens...) to organize this mass of multimedia into something searchable and usable.

As I have mentioned earlier my medical podcast list which was an inelegant word document has become too large a list to maintain. So I am looking at alternative ways to create a manageable database, list, website or something to make sense of all of this. One thing is for sure, podcasting is not just a fad anymore.
