Info and instructions on podcasting

Podcast — what's that?

A podcast is a radio show in the form of a MP3 file that can be downloaded to your computer using free “podcatching” software.  So you never miss an episode, podcatching software can be set up to automatically download the latest programs.  Once delivered to your computer, podcasts can be listened to using freely available audio player software.  No further hardware or software is needed to listen to podcasts on your computer.

For on-the-go listening, podcasts can be transferred from your computer to a portable digital audio player such as an iPod or iAudio player.

In short, podcasting is radio on demand, when and where you want it.

How do I get started?

To begin receiving podcasts, you’ll need

  • a computer connected to the internet,

  • free podcatching software, and

  • audio player software capable of playing MP3 files.

 

Where do I get podcatching software?

Juice (formerly known as Ipodder) is a free and easy-to-use program for Windows, Mac OS X, GNU, Linux, and FreeBSD.

 

For other podcatching software, try these links:

 

I’ve installed a podcatcher — what next?

“Subscribe” to the podcast you’re interested in by copying the URL (web address) listed below and pasting it into your podcatching software. 

Hint:  The URL for a podcast starts with http:// and normally (but not always) ends with .xml

If you’re using Juice, go to the “subscriptions” tab and click on the “add new feed” button, shown as a “+” symbol.  Paste or type the URL into the blank “URL” field and click save.

Subscriptions to WDFH podcasts are free.

If you're using Juice, you can receive podcasts automatically by going to the “scheduler” under the “tools” menu.  To receive podcasts manually, go to the “subscriptions” tab and click on the “check for new podcasts” button.

 

How do I listen once I've subscribed?

A free audio player software application such as Windows Media Player, Winamp, Real Player, Quicktime, or the ad-free, unobnoxious Real or Quicktime alternatives will play audio files on your computer.  (You need only one audio player, and it may already be on your computer.  If not, you can try one of those listed.)

Simply click on the received podcast and your audio player software will begin playing the podcast.

If you want to to listen while you're away from your computer, you can easily transfer your received podcasts to a portable digital audio player such as an iPod or iAudio player.
