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.
