Podcasting makes an audio file, typically an MP3 file, available online for downloading via an automatic "feed." You can then hear the podcast whenever you want from your computer or a portable media player.

To begin, you must have podcasting software installed on your computer (see below for options). Follow your program's instructions for subscribing to podcasts and modifying preference settings for updates, for example daily or weekly. You can listen directly from your computer through the software, or on-the-go by synching up a portable MP3 player, such as an iPod.

How to Subscribe

  1. Right-click on RSS Feed
  2. Copy the link (PC users: select "Copy Shortcut," Mac users: select "Copy Link Location")
  3. Paste it into the subscription field of your podcasting software. This process may vary depending on your software. In iTunes, for example, go to the "Advanced" menu and select "Subscribe to Podcast."
