I’m still experimenting with video podcasting, after my first attempt with Jamie Finchbaugh. LeanBlog Video Podcast #2 is content you may have seen and heard before — the video from Kevin Frieswick and MetroWest Medical Center with the device for error proofing hand washing on the way into patient rooms, combined with some excerpts of audio from LeanBlog Podcast #65.
It’s a video world, so hopefully this gets Lean content to a new audience. I’m trying to keep these under 10 minutes so I can also post them on YouTube. I have also set up a separate video feed through iTunes (search for “LeanBlog”). For the whole series of Video Podcasts, visit or go back to www.LeanVideoPodcast.org.
Any video podcasts will also have the audio versions available if you’re subscribed to existing feeds. While some said the first video podcast didn’t add much since it’s just talking heads, I think seeing someone talks adds a bit of their personality that doesn’t come across in audio.
I have four video podcasts coming up with Norman Bodek and two that I recorded just yesterday with Matthew May about his upcoming book In Pursuit of Elegance: Why the Best Ideas Have Something Missing
Here is a YouTube version of the video:
As always, feedback and constructive criticism are welcome. Don’t tell me I look fat or weird-looking in video!
For audio podcast episodes, please visit www.leanpodcast.org. For video podcasts, visit www.leanvideopodcast.org or visit my YouTube Channel. You can also subscribe to either podcast series through Apple iTunes – Audio orVideo.

I heard a story on NPR yesterday about elementary school teachers teaching children to properly and effectively wash their hands. Part of the method includes having them sing the alphabet song all the way through to ensure the proper washing time. Adult versions were experimented with and the most popular was the “bridge chorus” from Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody.
BTW–raise your webcam level a little to eliminate the Big Brother Effect in your intros. Good vid-cast.

Mike – when you say “Big Brother” effect, is that the TV show or Orwell you’re referring to?
I’ll get better with lighting and webcam angles… glad you like the content at least.

I can see that boom being broken off by the first patient or maintenance trolley that passes it. Good idea, but will need something more robust.
How about infrared beam or something that will go beep at you if you don’t dispense the gel, but is not going to get itself broken if failure occurs. Because a broken poka-yoke is two process failures, the actual process failure and the poka-yoke. Multiplying your problems.
