For decades, social work educators and scholars have pondered the question of how to best prepare students and practitioners to learn and apply evidence-based practices and policies for alleviating and individual and social problems. The most common response has been to expose students to evidence-based practices and policies and to involve social work practitioners in continuing-education courses and workshops. In 2007, I used a new type of media—podcasts—to address the question of how to most effectively disseminate research and best practices to social work students and practitioners. This article provides a brief definition and history of podcasting in social work, reviews social work scholarship on podcasting, provides results from a survey of social work podcast consumers, and discusses the role of podcasting in the larger context of social scholarship. The article concludes with recommendations for social work scholars, practitioners, and leaders related to the effective use of podcasting to increase the public impact of scholarship and research.

播客作为社会奖学金：增加奖学金和研究对公众影响的工具

几十年来，社会工作的教育者和学者一直在思考以下问题：如何最好地为学生和从业者做好准备，以学习和运用基于证据的做法和政策来缓解和解决个人和社会问题。最常见的反应是让学生接触循证做法和政策，并使社会工作从业人员参加继续教育课程和讲习班。2007年，我使用一种新型的媒体（播客）来解决如何最有效地向社会工作的学生和实践者传播研究和最佳实践的问题。本文简要介绍了社交工作中播客的定义和历史，回顾了有关播客的社会工作奖学金，提供了对社交工作播客用户进行调查的结果，并讨论了播客在更大范围的社会学术背景中的作用。本文最后为社会工作学者，从业人员和领导人提供了与有效使用播客相关的建议，以提高奖学金和研究的公共影响力。
