WHAT IS PODCASTING?

Podcasting is a way to receive audio files over the Internet. Many content providers, including most popular websites, offer podcast feeds at no cost. These feeds deliver audio broadcasts to your desktop. You can listen to these files on your computer or load them on to your MP3 player and take them with you.

GET STARTED

All you need to get started is podcasting software. Once you download and install the software, simply add one of many podcast feeds. The podcasting software will automatically check for updates and download the files to your computer so you can load them onto your MP3 player.
