Podcasting- What Next?

 Podcasting is simply distributing audio content using RSS. Okay, RSS means Really Simply Syndication. Don't let the acronym confuse you, its really no biggy. The process is really simple, and by making audio content available using RSS, podcasters give listeners more control over what they listen to and when. 
Also, many podcasters are available for syndication which increases a broadcasters exposure.

Podcasting is great for Music, Training (instructional materials) Self Guided Walking Tours, Talk Shows (commentaries, discussions).

Podcasting is simply an RSS feed that contains an MP3 or audio file in the enclosure tag.
Interesting a listening a live podcast? Great!!!

Here how to get started:
Step 1 - If you are using a Mac, you should have iTUNES pre-installed with your computer
Step 2 - Open iTunes and click on Podcasts
Step 3 - Click on the podcast directory at the bottom of the screen
Step 4 - The iTunes Store opens and from here you can select a podcast to listen to 

It's as simple as that. There are a series of episodes you can listen to that interest you,  from diet and exercise tips to politics and art.

Podcasting - A NEW WAY TO LISTER TO THE RADIO!!!
