What is Podcasting?
Podcasting combines the terms iPod and broadcasting
to describe a new kind of radio for your MP3 player
and computer. It allows people to save and listen to
broadcast programs when and where they want. Some have
described podcasting as a kind of TiVo for audio on
the Internet.
How Podcasting works:
A broadcaster makes digital audio files available on
the Internet. Listeners "subscribe" to these programs
using podcasting software. The listener's computer automatically
downloads the audio files, which can then be listened
to on the computer or transferred to a portable MP3
audio player. Listeners may also download and listen
to audio files individually by visiting a Web site that
makes them available. To download and listen to individual
Washington Week audio files click on the links at the

How do you get started?
In order to receive podcasts you need a computer, an
Internet connection, and podcasting software. To take
a podcast with you, an iPod or any portable MP3 player
is also needed.
The podcasting software includes programs that allow
your computer to automatically receive audio files of
specified broadcast programs over the Internet. Then
you can either listen to the programs on your computer
or have them downloaded to your portable audio player.
The following podcasting software is available for
free on the Internet.
iTunes
(PC or Mac)
iPodder
(PC)
iPodderX
(Mac)
Once you have downloaded the software, follow the instructions
included with the software in order to subscribe to
and receive Washington Week podcasts --usually as simple
