What is a Podcast?

A podcast is a digital audio or video file that comes in episodes; it is downloadable; has a program format, mainly with a host and/or theme; and convenient, using an automated feed with computer software that can also automatically transfer each episode to your MP3 player, such as an Apple iPod.

The easiest way to use podcasts is to download the free iTunes software on your computer, and sync with an iPod.  However, you do not need an iPod, any MP3 player will work although it will be harder to set up. You can also listen with any audio software on your computer without an MP3 player, such as iTunes, WinAmp, Windows Media Player, etc.

Clicking the iTunes link will open the iTunes software you already have installed, and set up the podcast on your computer.  From then on, iTunes will check and automatically download the episodes. If you have an iPod, the episodes are automatically synced over to your iPod each time you plug it in, making it extremely convenient to keep up-to-date.  After subscription, you exert no effort to download and transfer the episodes to your MP3 player.  Then listen whenever it is convenient for you, while in the gym, commuting, doing chores around the house, etc.
