Podcasting: A Basic Q & A
Q. What is a podcast?
A. A podcast is a digital recording of an audio programme, made available on the Internet for downloading and listening on a personal audio player (Oxford English dictionary). What sets it apart from a traditional audio file is the ability to subscribe to a series of programmes and then automatically receive the most recent episodes as they become available. Podcasts are growing in popularity and many traditional broadcasters (such as National Public Radio in the US, the British Broadcasting Corporation, and a host of major television channels) have begun to use them as an additional content delivery source.
Q. What do I need to listen to a podcast?
A. Because podcasts are created as standard audio files, they can be played on computers, mp3 players and a growing number of cell phones. If you would like to receive the podcasts automatically, you'll need a program that can subscribe to podcasts, such as iTunes or Juice.
Q. How do I subscribe?
A. Once you have a podcasting program like those noted above, you can subscribe in two ways. The easiest is to drag the orange and white "Subscribe" button to your podcast receiver's window. Many programs will automatically add a podcast feed this way. You can also copy and paste the URL for a program into the podcasting window. A number of sites, including IAEA.org, provide a direct subscribe link to either iTunes or as an RSS podcast feed.
