Walter Makichen's Podcast
Conception & Pregnancy: a Spiritual Journey
What is a Podcast
Podcasts are audio files that you can play on your computer or digital audio player. If you have a portable MP3 player, such as the Apple iPod you can listen to them wherever you want.
You can subscribe to podcasts the way you do to an RSS feed. You will need free "podcatching" software (similar to an RSS news aggregator) to be able get automatic updates of your favorite podcasts. Podcatching software can also synchronize podcasts with your portable digital audio player so that you can hear podcasts while you're on the go.
But you don't need an iPod or other player to listen to podcasts. You can still use podcatching software to subscribe to the podcasts you want and listen to them on your computer. Or simply choose to listen to the stand-alone MP3 file.
Why is it so popular?
Podcasting, in effect, allows you to create your own personalised radio station. The main use of podcasting is in conjunction with MP3 players - people want to listen to their favourites on the move, whenever and wherever they wish. Say you were going to have a busy week at work, or are traveling but still want to listen to your favorite podcasts. Podcasting allows you to download them all (automatically) so you can listen to them when it is more convenient for you.
