What are Podcasts?

Podcasting is a method of publishing files to the Internet that allows users to subscribe to a feed and receive new files automatically by subscription.

Rather than requiring you to come back to a website over and over, podcasts are delivered to an application on your desktop.

You will need to download and install Podcast subscription software to your computer. Once the program is installed, copy and paste the URL for your podcast into the software.

What is the advantage of subscribing to a Podcast?

Subscribing to a Podcast allows you to listen to Fred’s radio program during the time and at a place most convenient for you. Even streaming may prove difficult because you have to be at your computer to listen to the program, which means you can’t listen to the program in your car, on the bus, on the train, or sometimes even at your office (system administrators sometimes restrict streaming audio because it eats up bandwidth).

Do I need an iPod to listen to Podcasts?

No, you do not need an iPod to listen to the Podcast. All of the podcast files are encoded as mp3 files, the most universal format for listening on various devices. Once downloaded, you can listen to each podcast using almost any computer application: iTunes Windows Media Player, Real Audio Player, WinAmp, and many others. If you like, you can burn the files to a CD so you can listen in your car or at home on your stereo.
