Podcasting makes an audio file, typically an MP3 file,
available online for downloading via an automatic "feed." You can then hear the
podcast whenever you want from your computer or a portable media player.
What do I need to hear podcasts?
The first thing you need is podcast subscription software. Your options include the latest version of Apple's iTunes (which has the software built in), or other services such as Odeo or iPodder,
to manage your podcast subscriptions. At this point, you will already
be able to listen to podcast audio from your computer (provided your
computer has a sound card and can play MP3 audio files). If you want to
make your podcasts portable, you will need to transfer them from your
computer to a portable media device.
How do I subscribe or download a podcast?
To subscribe to a podcast listed in the directory, click on its name to
view a brief description and subscription instructions. You may
subscribe to many podcasts by clicking the buttons for popular tools
like iTunes and My Yahoo!
If
you don't see a button for your preferred tool, simply highlight the
URL in the box next to the orange [POD] icon. Right-click this link (or
Control-click in MacOS) and select "Copy" or "Copy Shortcut." You may
then paste the link into your podcasting software. In iTunes you can
find this option under the "Advanced" menu as "Subscribe to podcast."
You may also download the latest episode of the podcast by clicking the button "Download to Zune", which allows you to download the episode to your Zune player. Clicking the button "Download MP3" allows you to save the podcast to any other MP3 device.
