As the premier provider of audio education for oncology professionals, we recently made the important decision to offer all of our acclaimed series as Podcasts. All you need to do is follow these simple steps for any or all of our future programs delivered directly to your computer automatically. Click here to download a PDF of this tutorial.

You must have iTunes version 7 or later installed on your computer before subscribing. Get it free by visiting www.iTunes.com/download.

Visit www.ResearchToPractice.com/Podcast and select the series you would like to receive. For this tutorial, we will use Breast Cancer Update as an example.

Once you click on the desired series, iTunes will automatically open and begin downloading the Podcast. The download progress icon on the left side of the track indicates that a download is taking place. Click the arrow next to the Podcast title to display a complete list of RTP’s Podcast interviews from the selected series. It is important to note that only the first interview from the most recent issue of the selected series will be downloaded.

When the download is complete, the download progress icon will disappear and a blue dot will appear next to the Podcast. To listen to the interview, simply double-click on it.

There are several settings you can change in iTunes to affect how frequently you access and delete Podcasts. To begin adjusting settings, click the “Settings” button at the bottom of the window. You can alter how frequently iTunes checks for new interviews. You can alter what iTunes does when new interviews are available. Or you can specify how many interviews iTunes should keep without deleting them.

In addition to listening to Podcasts on your computer, you can also transfer them to your iPod. Simply click on the icon for your iPod, select the Podcast tab and check “Sync.” You can then transfer all Podcasts, or simply pick select ones to transfer.

Now each time you open iTunes your computer will automatically check for and download new issues of the series you subscribed to. It’s that easy. Subscribe to Research To Practice podcasts.
