Welcome to podcasting! A podcast, simply put, is a radio show that you can download onto your computer and listen to whenever you want. You can download specific CBC Radio podcasts when one interests you or subscribe to a program's podcast so that it automatically downloads onto your computer whenever a new podcast is available.
Once the podcast is on your computer, you can listen to it there using your favorite media player, or transfer it onto your MP3 player to listen to it on the move!
Listening to a podcast is as easy as listening to your radio -- but with so
many more advantages!
Sounds great, but what do I need to listen to these podcasts?
All you need is a computer with an internet connection! If you want to listen
to a podcast on your computer, you will need a sound card (most newer computers
come with one — if you've ever played any music or heard any sound come
out of your computer, you have one), media playing software (like Windows
Media Player, or iTunes
or RealPlayer)
and speakers.
If you want to take the podcasts with you, you'll need a portable media player
like an iPod, an iRiver, or another MP3 player. What you'll do is download the
podcasts onto your computer and transfer them onto your MP3 player.
OK, but how do I get these podcasts?
