A Podcast is basically an on-demand radio show produced by someone interested in a specific topic. It is very much like a blog, just that it’s audio, or actually most of the time combines the two as in the case of this Podcast. Even though the name might suggest differently, a Podcast is not limited to the iPod, it can in fact be played on any media player as it’s in the good old trusty MP3 format. You can either download the individual MP3 files linked from the site, or you can use a program such as iTunes to automatically keep you updated by subscribing to the podcast’s RSS feed (RSS 2.0 Feed)
Which Podcast Software?
I personally prefer iTunes and iPodder. They’re both pretty straight forward to use.
