What is podcasting?
It's a new way that Peter Sheahan can automatically send you information about a wide range of subjects to your portable device. To do this, you subscribe to the podcast by downloading a small piece of software that manages all of your podcast subscriptions. When connected to the internet, the software searches for the latest edition of the program on our website, and will download it to a folder on your computer, ready for when you next plug in your portable mp3 device. This means that you don't have to manually search for new programs to download on this website. It happens automatically!
How do I subscribe to a podcast?
Download podcasting software such as Juice Receiver (an Open Source cross platform podcast receiver), Apple's iTunes for Mac and Windows or similar podcasting software. These programs allow you to schedule regular updates to your selected downloads with an iPod or other MP3 player. The range includes programs which allow you to listen to podcasts on mobile phones and Pocket PCs, as well as computers running Mac or Linux OS.
Once you have set up and acquainted yourself with the podcasting software, then copy & paste the subscription URL listed below into your podcasting program. This will add the selected program to your podcasting subscriptions.
If you want to receive these programs regularly, make sure the scheduling function on your podcasting software is set to search for new podcasts automatically.
