Considering that the meaning of chemical concepts is constructed through social interaction and re signified by individuals, this article sought to analyze the feasibility of using the Podcast tool in education as a way to make the teaching/learning process of Chemistry contextualized, dynamic, and meaningful in light of emergency educational requirements. Therefore, a bibliographic study was carried out with a qualitative exploratory approach through bibliographic research on the Capes and Scielo Journal Portal, having as keywords the terms Chemistry Teaching and Podcast. The articles analyzed were categorized according to their pedagogical potential, difficulties, and challenges, impeding factors for their production and use as teaching material.
