In this work, the objective was to identify podcasts applied to education or that could be used for this purpose, that had the COVID-19 pandemic as a central theme or that encompassed the subject in their contents, in order to suggest the use of this tool as a methodology complement in the teaching-learning process. 36 podcasts were identified and evaluated according to the proposed taxonomy. Of these, 19 made up the final sample. It was observed that the contents covered different levels of education, which demonstrates potential application in the face of new educational challenges. Nevertheless, podcasts cross different areas of knowledge, allowing for more effective interdisciplinarity.
