Methods:
This narrative report details a one-year group experience incorporating podcasts into the curriculum of the general surgery and emergency medicine residency programs, focusing on podcast-based learning within the academic emergency department of a quaternary university hospital in an urban center in São Paulo, Brazil. The authors, comprising podcast developers, preceptors, and residents, shared their experiences with implementing and utilizing the podcast in the residency curriculum.

The episode content consisted of 64% clinical topics, 12% summaries of scientific events, 12% interviews with specialists, and 12% soft skills development. The authors reported that both residents and preceptors expressed high satisfaction with the podcast's integration as a consistent educational tool in the curriculum.
Conclusion:
The incorporation of a podcast as an educational tool was enthusiastically received by both residents and preceptors. Podcasts may serve as a valuable complement to traditional teaching methods, enabling updates on general surgery topics, fostering evidence-based practice, and enriching professional experiences.
