Podcasting is the media which has been increasing its influence in the Internet. We examined the usefulness of podcasting with regard to science communicator education and science communication activity as a part of media training at CoSTEP (Communicators in Science Technology Education Program) at Hokkaido University. It is useful for a science communicator to create a podcast. Further,podcasting is a highly useful tool for science communication activities because it can facilitate the broadcast of science and technology information that conventional mass media cannot realize. We believe that podcasting can facilitate better group communication because it allows anyone to become an information sender.
