What is Podcasting?
Podcasting is delivering audio content to iPods and other portable
media players on demand, so that it can be listened to at the user's
convenience. The main benefit of podcasting is that listeners can sync
content to their media player and take it with them to listen whenever
they want to. Because podcasts are typically saved in MP3 format, they
can also be listened to on nearly any computer. Podcasts are in a different
format from ConsciousTalk's archived shows. Our archived shows are streamed
over the Internet via Windows Media Player. Podcast episodes are downloaded
to your computer so you can copy them to an iPod or another portable
audio device and take them with you.
How does it work?
ConsciousTalk radio will regularly update our RSS feed (what
is RSS?) with the latest audio files of our shows. A “podcatcher” program
- such as Apple's iTunes or iPodder – automatically retrieves the RSS
feed from our website and downloads the appropriate audio files to
your computer or portable media device.
Installing and Configuring a “podcatcher” program:
While the most popular “podcatcher” is Apple's free program iTunes there
are many different programs for subscribing to our podcast. If you do
not already have iTunes we recommend it for it's ease of use and popularity. Download
iTunes here.
Once you have downloaded and installed iTunes you can configure the
Podcast subscription feature by clicking on Edit > Preferences.
In the Preferences dialog box select the Podcasts tab. From here you
can set such features as how often your iTunes program checks for podcast
updates, what is downloaded when new episodes are available and which
episodes are kept on your local computer. You can also configure how
the podcasts are transferred to your iPod.
