What is podcasting?
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. Podcast files are sometimes delivered
via video files.
What do you need to hear podcasts?
The first thing you need is podcast subscription
software. The latest version of Apple's
iTunes (which has the
software built in), or other services such as
My Yahoo!,
Odeo or
Juice, manage your podcast subscriptions.
You can listen to your subscribed podcast audio
downloaded to a computer that
has a sound card and can play MP3 audio files.
To make your podcast files portable, transfer them from
the computer to a
portable media device such as an iPod or other
MP3 player.
How to subscribe to a podcast?
You
may subscribe to many podcasts by copying the
subscription link into podcast subscription
software or in some cases clicking on buttons
for popular tools like
iTunes and
My Yahoo!
