Podcasting: How To Receive and Make Your Own

Podcasts are a remarkable invention that allows you to directly receive audio broadcasts from anywhere in the world! Think of keeping a ham radio in your pocket with the easy to use aspects of Tivo. Wherever you are, you're never too far away for your personal mp3 player or computer to pick up your favorite podcast. This new form of broadcast combines the portability and popularity of Apple's famous iPod or any other mp3 play with the traditions of a traditional radio broadcast. Instead of attaching a radio scanner to pick up tired stations that play more commercials than songs, sign up for a podcast subscription. Similar to satellite radio, podcasts feature little to no commercials and programming that varies from music to talk to simulcasts, but also have a unique feature that satellite radio cannot compete. Just like a Tivo, you can pause, fast forward, or rewind the podcast to best fit around your schedule. If you want to catch your favorite show, simply pause the podcast until you decide to listen.

If you currently own an Apple iPod, or any other type of personal mp3 player, or a personal computer with podcasting capabilities, you can quickly and easily find and subscribe to podcasts. Before you can listen to a podcast, you must first have the correct RSS reading software. This software will enable the device to decode the files so they can be played correctly. Programs such as iPodderX are a popular choice for Apple users, as it is compatible with the interface. For PC users, iPodder.net is a great way to receive podcasts on your iPod or mp3 player. By simply connecting the device and subscribing to RSS feeds, this software will automatically download and adapt the podcast so you can listen at your leisure.

If you decide to create your own podcast, do not fear...the process is not nearly as difficult as it sounds. Use your computer, either a PC or a Mac, head phones, microphone, and some source of sound, whether it is a favorite cd, your personal band, or a great conversation, to create an audio file. Two useful programs many individuals choose to use are SoundFlower and SoundBed, both of which are free. Also, Line In is a great program that allows sound coming in from a microphone to be played. These programs allow you to quickly and easily convert your sound files into a podcast that can be played by you or anyone else who chooses to subscribe.
