Pharmacy-specific podcasts are widely available and appear to be widely consumed. However, little is known about consumption of such podcasts. Objective: To describe the scope of listenership to OncoPharm, an oncology pharmacy podcast, and determine if any episode category is more popular than another. Methods: OncoPharm episodes released from Jan. 1, 2018 to May 10, 2019 were analyzed. The number of downloads or listens (DLs) was extracted from the podcast's hosting platform for evaluation. The number of DLs were tabulated from episode release date through May 31, 2019. The nation of DL was also extracted. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze DL numbers. One-way ANOVA was used to determine if any episode category (Foundational Topic, New Approval, Updates, Landmark Study, or Other) was more popular than another. Student's t-test was used to compare the mean DLs for the first 20 OncoPharm episodes to the last 20 episodes of the evaluation period. Results: Seventy-one podcast episodes were included in the evaluation period. These episodes were downloaded or listened to 17,816 times in 71 nations and territories. The average DLs per episode were 250.9 (SD 87.7). There was no difference in mean DLs by podcast episode category (p = 0.078). The last 20 episodes had more average DLs than the first 20 episodes (p = 0.04). Conclusion: OncoPharm has found a broad and growing audience interested in a variety of oncology pharmacy topics. This expanding and international audience suggests OncoPharm is filling an unmet educational need.
药学专业播客广泛可用，似乎也被广泛收听。然而，对于此类播客的收听情况却知之甚少。目的：描述肿瘤科药学播客 OncoPharm 的听众范围，并确定是否有某个节目类别比其他节目更受欢迎。方法：分析了 2018 年 1 月 1 日至 2019 年 5 月 10 日发布的 OncoPharm 剧集。从播客的托管平台中提取下载量或播放量（DLs）进行评估。从发布日期到 2019 年 5 月 31 日，对 DLs 进行了制表。还提取了 DLs 的国家/地区。使用描述性统计分析来分析 DL 数量。使用单向方差分析（ANOVA）来确定任何节目类别（基础主题、新批准、更新、标志性研究或其他）是否比其他节目更受欢迎。使用学生 t 检验比较评估期间前 20 集 OncoPharm 与后 20 集的平均 DLs。结果：评估期间共收录了 71 集播客。这些剧集在 71 个国家和地区被下载或收听了 17816 次。每集的平均 DLs 为 250.9（SD 87.7）。不同播客节目类别的平均 DLs 没有差异（p=0.078）。最后 20 集的平均 DLs 多于前 20 集（p=0.04）。结论：OncoPharm 已经找到了对各种肿瘤药学主题感兴趣的广泛且不断增长的受众。这一不断扩大且国际化的受众群体表明，OncoPharm 正在满足未满足的教育需求。
