A pandemia provocada pela covid-19 foi uma alavanca para o aparecimento de vários podcasts dedicados à doença. Em diversos países, incluindo Portugal, os media acrescentaram à sua oferta informativa tradicional conteúdos sonoros utilizando para tal esta ferramenta digital. A popularidade do podcast tem crescido junto das audiências e as empresas de comunicação social olham para esta plataforma como uma boa estratégia para diversificar os conteúdos e assim chegar junto dos públicos. Em momentos de crise, como uma pandemia, cresce a necessidade de as populações terem acesso a informações credíveis nas quais possam confiar e, assim, obterem um conhecimento que as ajudem a tomar decisões. Neste caso em particular, a covid-19, as populações sentiram a necessidade de estarem informadas sobre uma doença desconhecida, procurando informações sobre os sintomas, o contágio ou os meios de proteção pessoal e os podcasts representaram uma resposta para essas necessidades informativas. O presente artigo analisa como três podcasts portugueses dedicados em exclusivo à covid-19 trataram a doença. A partir dos dados procederemos a uma reflexão sobre a importância desta nova ferramenta para o jornalismo de saúde. Os resultados da pesquisa permitem-nos concluir que os podcasts nacionais sobre a covid-19 analisados seguem alguns padrões identificados na cobertura de temas de saúde em Portugal e que, adotando um tom de “consultório”, se colocaram na posição de ferramentas coadjuvantes no combate à pandemia, ao esclarecerem, informarem e clarificarem questões relacionadas com a doença.
