WHAT IS A PODCAST?

Overview

A podcast is rich media, such as audio or video, distributed via RSS. Feeds like this one provide updates whenever there is new content. Podcasting is a way to receive audio files over the Internet by using feeds to deliver the audio broadcasts directly to your desktop. You can listen to the files on your computer or load them on your MP3 player and take them with you.

Getting set up

To get started, all you need is podcasting software. Once you download and install the software, you add the podcast feed. The podcasting software will automatically check for updates and download the files to your computer.
