Pork Pod Provides On the Go Info

In today's fast-paced, exciting world, it is sometimes challenging to keep up on all of the latest news. But thanks to newly evolving technology it is easier than ever. The Pork Checkoff is proud to present a podcast titled Pork Pod. Pork Pod is available for anyone who wants to keep up to date on the latest news in the pork industry. It is an audio file that is available online. Listeners can acquire these broadcasts through a computer, iPod or MP3 player.

Hot topics, hot technology

So what makes Pork Pod so different than other typical online audio files? It is all about diversity and convenience. Unlike other files, the Pork Checkoff Podcasts can be listened to online at pork.org, downloaded to your computer, or played on an iPod or MP3 player. If you choose to subscribe to Pork Pod via a RSS feed, it will automatically be updated each time new material is posted online.

"Pork Pod is another tool that the Checkoff can utilize to communicate news to producers that they can use on their farms," said Teresa Roof, manager of public relations for the Pork Checkoff. "This will be an easy and convenient way for producers to hear from experts in the industry on current issues and hot topics in pork production."

Pork Pod programs will feature an interview with an expert in a designated field. Topics will include a wide variety of pork production issues including information on PCVAD, PQA Plus, animal ID, and much more.

Convenient, quick and concise

You can listen to Pork Pod while sitting in the tractor, driving your truck or doing the chores. It's convenient. It's also quick and concise. Typically, the podcast lasts approximately 7-10 minutes. By adopting this technology, staying informed about pork production is easier than ever.

"We look forward to the opportunities that Pork Pod presents to both producers and the Pork Checkoff" said Roof.

So stop and think about how you can make sure you are up to date on all of the latest information. Instead of listening to your typical tunes, try Pork Pod on for size. Pork Pod can be found on pork.org under the spotlight section.
