What is Podcasting?
Podcasting is the latest in on-the-go, on-demand technology. With podcasting, you can listen to radio programs or events whenever and wherever you choose. Podcasts are video or audio files that are automatically downloaded to your personal computer, and then transferred to an iPod or other digital media player using a podcasting application.
What equipment do I need?
The basic requirements for podcasting are a computer (PC or Mac), podcasting software (see list of options) and an Internet connection. For portability, an iPod or other digital media player is needed.
What if I don't have an iPod or an MP3 player?
You can listen to directly on your computer (PC or Mac) using your podcasting application.
I don't want to download any podcasting software to my computer, is there another way to listen? You can listen to MP3 files directly from the FemaleThiink website (where available).
How do I get started?
Simply download and install podcasting software onto your computer. Although applications vary, each should provide instructions on how to add podcast feeds to your list. Then, just check for the new podcasts and files of your selected programs that will be on your computer and, if you are set up, on your portable media player.
