Description (Abstract)
Research has revealed that podcasts have a positive impact on teaching and learning and offer a range of skills. The podcast "What Would Dr, Meyers Do: Insights not Oversights" focuses on generalist and clinical practice and the development of necessary social work skills to effectively work with clients and client systems. Based on the swift increase in listenership and engagement on social media, this podcast is meeting its five-fold purpose: 1) Through both guesting/participating in podcast episodes and listening to episodes, Molloy social work students have developed their ability to deepen their practices, strengthen their critical thinking, enhance their cultural humility, and self-reflect; 2) Serve as a teaching tool/resource for supervisors who oversee student interns and faculty who teach in the classroom and develop assignments; 3) Offer insight into the emotional experience of the social worker and their vulnerability as they embark on a lifelong journey of personal and professional development; 4) Allow the public to understand the breadth of social work and the impact of human development and environmental factors on functioning and interpersonal dynamics; allowing anyone to develop insight and selfawareness about themselves; 5) local and national social work, mental health, and psychology students and professionals have addressed the challenges of supervisory availability and professional development needs. Discussions with students have illuminated needs for curriculum development.
