What is Podcasting?

A podcast is an episodic program delivered via the Internet through a RSS feed or downloaded and/or streamed from the web as a media file. Originally conceived as simply audio broadcasts, podcast episodes now include audio and video files, documents, or combinations of the three. ALPA can transmit any television or radio program as a podcast, as well as any lecture, training program, or other recorded event.

You can download a podcast and play it on your desktop, or listen to it on demand by transferring it to a portable MP3 player, such as an iPod. To receive podcasts on your computer, download free podcasting software and then subscribe to a feed. Once you subscribe, your computer will notify you or automatically download MP3 audio files every time a new podcast episode is available.
