Abstract
The podcast has become an innovative educational tool that allows the dissemination of knowledge in an accessible and flexible way. In this context, the present study aims to analyze how the podcast Motivo de Consulta contributes to psychology education by transmitting knowledge about mental health in academic and professional contexts. The research follows an exploratory and empirical approach with a qualitative design, developed in several phases: first, a survey was applied to 100 people to identify their learning needs; Subsequently, these results were contrasted with a review of scientific literature to select the topics of the podcast; then, ten episodes were designed, produced and broadcast on Spotify with interviews with psychology experts; Finally, a content analysis was carried out to evaluate the alignment of the podcast with contemporary pedagogical principles. The results showed that the podcast not only addresses the concerns of the public, but also facilitates the appropriation of knowledge through a dynamic and interactive format. It is concluded that Motivo de Consulta is an effective educational strategy that complements traditional teaching methods and promotes autonomous and meaningful learning in psychology training.
