More than a year ago. I lobbied AJHP to consider podcasts. I even went to the extreme to enter a resolution to the House of Delegates to include podcasts. In a series of public and private communications the Editor of AJHP had 'poor me' reasons why they can not possibly produce podcasts; too expensive, no staff, no expertise, oh poor me. Dude: Newsflash, print media is on life support. I am overjoyed that he was overruled and someone saw the light.
Readers may now listen to AJHP podcasts that feature brief interviews with authors of upcoming AJHP articles. Each podcast is 10-15 minutes long and provides additional details about the authors' work and its implications on practice. Readers may listen to these podcasts as streaming audio at www.ajhp.org or subscribe to them through iTunes. Feedback or comments regarding this service can be sent to the Journal's editorial staff at ajhp@ashp.org.
