  • Podcasts can be used by residents for learning, with some listening concurrently with other activities like exercise 1.
  • Exercise may influence knowledge acquisition and retention among residents listening to podcasts, though effects are controversial 1.
  • A randomized crossover trial assessed emergency medicine residents listening to podcasts while seated versus while exercising 1.
  • Knowledge acquisition was assessed via multiple-choice tests shortly after listening and delayed recall tests at 30 days 1.
