Podcast Primer
What is podcasting?
In
common use,
"podcasting" refers to delivering audio programs over the Internet.
These programs are often similar in style and content to radio shows and are
typically provided as MP3 files, but they can be any type of audio in any
digital audio format. A "podcatcher" is software that allows you to
subscribe to a series of related programs such as our Caldwell UMC Weekly
Sermons automatically when they are made available online. Once downloaded
to your computer, the programs can be easily transferred to an inexpensive
portable MP3 player, allowing you to take them with you wherever you go.
