Hi everyone,
In this post, I'm going to tell you about what podcasting means and how you could use it. It's very simple:
What is a 'podcast'?
A podcast is like a video but without the screen to look at the scene. Or like a CD but than any subject and not only music. Also you might describe a podcast as someone reading a book to you. You can see it as something you listen to but can’t see (it can only be something electronic. So not listening to a friend with your eyes closed and then saying it's a podcast). Also, it is prerecorded. This means it isn't a live show.
Mostly, a podcast is a audio. But sometimes it’s a video. A podcast is not just one episode, it’s episodically. Which means more than one, or in series.
A podcast is downloaded or streamed from the internet. There are many different types of podcasts. To name some: news, children(until a certain age), humorous, serious, tv programs, etc, etc.
The audience of podcasts are usually: if you feel serious, listen to the news. If you are in a funny and laughing mood, go for a humorous podcast.
How could you use a podcast?
Podcasts come in useful if for example you missed a radio news program. You can go to the news program website and look under podcasts(if they have a website and podcast from their episodes). Most of the time, you can easily find a podcast. Remember the title of your show and then you'll find it.
How to use it? (example:)
Lets say, for example you wanted to listen to a news podcast:
1. Find a website that has both RSS Feed and a podcast on it.
2. Copy the RSS Feed. (RSS Feed/Subscribe + "Copy link")
3. Go to your google reader account. (If you haven't got one yet, on google search, type in google reader and make an account.)
4. If you done all of that, press "add an subscription".
5. Paste the RSS Feed/Subscription in the box.
6. Press add and then enjoy!
