With the advent of the Apple iPod, the world of music and portable media was changed forever. One of the new terms in the popular lexicon that arose around the same time was the “podcast,” which is a broadcast that is recorded and can then be stored and replayed digitally on the iPod or other similar portable audio players. Podcasts are usually found online and inform people about general news, current events, and other topics specific to certain online communities or groups. In addition to audio, podcasts are often displayed in video format, and these “vidcasts” can also be stored and viewed on many devices.
Here’s how to listen to podcasts from the comfort of your apartment in Lady Lake, FL:
- Log on to your Internet browser and search for podcasts on your favorite topics or areas of interest. You can also search for podcasts directly on iTunes and download them from there.
- When you find a podcast or vidcast you are interested in, you can either listen to it online or download it onto your portable device.
- If you opt to download, save the file in iTunes or another similar music-storage program. This will allow you to upload your selected podcasts or vidcasts to your device and bring them with you wherever you go.
When you find certain podcasts that you like, most websites allow you the option of subscribing in order to automatically receive the latest broadcast in the series and save it directly to your computer or device.
