Digital technologies offer a new way of bringing many older, but not outdated, resources back into the 21st century, and a great opportunity for students to integrate different parts of the curriculum into their learning. This chapter describes use of a novel technique to develop mobile podcasts consisting of digital animated videos of old anatomical specimen pots with an accompanying audio commentary. The purpose was to transform museum specimens into 3D video-podcasts to depict structures and tissues in a particular area of the body. We coined the terms ‘potcast’ and ‘potcasting’ to describe these re-incarnated anatomy pots.
