What is a Podcast?
A podcast is an audio file that you download from the Internet and use on your computer or mp3 player (like an iPod). The big difference is that you can use “podcatching” software to subscribe to a website’s podcast feed so you don’t have to check for new episodes. The podcatcher checks the website’s feed regularly and downloads the newest episode when it is available. This means that you get the new shows without thinking about it. Some podcatchers will automatically transfer the new show to your mp3 player (if connected to you computer), ready for you to use in the car or whereever.
Podcatching Software
There are quite a few podcast clients out there, many which are free. Here is a list of recommended ones.
