| What's a Podcast? A podcast is a regularly-updated mp3 audio show that's been made available to listeners over the Internet in a way that allows scheduling and automatic downloading for listening at a later date. |
||
| This is accomplished through something called a syndicated RSS feed. To receive a podcast, you need a computer, an Internet connection, and podcasting software called an "aggregator." You will "subscribe" to podcasts using this software. Once subscribed, the software will download updated podcasts from all the feeds to which you're subscribed. You will then be able to listen from your computer, or - if you prefer - you can transfer them to any portable mp3 player. | ||
| How to Listen to a Podcast Download podcast software (also known as "an aggregator"). We recommend iPodder, a free download for both Mac and Windows. |

You can set your aggregator to pull down regular updates using the "Schedule" tab. Or to update manually, click on the "Check for New Podcasts" button and wait until the files have downloaded. If you have the latest versions of Apple iTunes or WMP, it will automatically create playlists from the downloaded shows. Shows can be played on your computer, or transferred to portable device, like an iPod, Creative Zen or iRiver. |
