It is carried out in some stages, including surveying the situation and field conditions, implementating, and evaluating. In terms of the implementation phase, it is divided into three main activities, such as socializing, training, and mentoring. To facilitate these activities, several approaches were applied, like participatory rural appraisal (PRA), persuasive approaches, and educational approaches. The results of the survey conducted by the health promotion team from the health department of West Nusa Tenggara Province showed that LPPM required several equipment, such as cameras/webcams, microphones, earphones, a mixer, tripods, lightings, an OBS software, an Adobe Premier Pro, and a personal computer. In addition, from the results of observations, it is concluded that the Research and Service Institute (LPPM) of the Mataram University has a suitable room to hold the podcast. Overall, the implementation of podcast at the LPPM has been successfully implemented. The evaluation as one of the most important part shows that there are technical and non-technical obstacles occurred, such as none-standardized computer equipment and room arrangements. This is an important note for the next implementation.
