We sponsor a lot of very interesting teleconferences, but they usually take place on a weekday in the middle of a day. This means that many people who are at work or busy doing something else are not able to listen to these live events. Luckily we have our telephone education programs archived on our website, and additionally we have several podcast feeds.
Up until just a few days ago we had three podcast feeds:
- Blood CancerCAST – all of our teleconferences
- CML LinksCAST – Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia teleconferences
- Lymphoma LinksCAST – Hodgkin and Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma teleconferences
We just added seven more podcast feeds to make it easier for people to listen to the teleconferences they are interested in. Here’s a list of our new feeds:
- AML PathwaysCAST – Acute Myelogenous Leukemia teleconferences
- Childhood CancersCAST – teleconferences related to the childhood cancers
- CLL LinksCAST – Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia teleconferences
- MDS CAST – Myelodysplastic Syndrome teleconferences
- Myeloma OutlookCAST – Myeloma teleconferences
- Non-Hodgkin LymphomaCAST – Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma teleconferences
- SurvivorshipCAST – teleconferences related to practical information for those living with the blood cancers
Okay – so a lot of people may not know what RSS or podcasts are. I’ll try to explain.
Really Simple Syndication (RSS) has been around for quite a while (since about 1999), but it hasn’t really taken off until the last few years. Personally, I didn’t really start to utilize it myself until a couple of years ago, but now I am taking advantage of it on almost a daily basis.
RSS allows you to read content from all of your favorite websites in one place. Do you find that you don’t have time to visit all of those websites on a daily basis, but you still want to read their content? The solution is to create an account with an aggregation service like Google Reader or Newsgator, then add your favorite website’s feed to the aggregator. At this point those websites syndicate their information to you.
A podcast feed acts the same way, except instead of text-based content, websites (like ours) can syndicate their digital media files (like teleconferences) to you. With our podcast feeds you’ll always stay up to date when there is a new teleconference, making it so you have less of a chance to miss that important and informative information.
Learn more about our new feeds and RSS on our LLS News Feeds and Podcasts page.
