I was speaking with a colleague today about whatsthetruthgeorge.com and she asked me, "What is a podcast anyway??" Well... as in the classroom, if one has the question I'm sure another does. So let me explain in layman terms (since that is the only way I understand it and couldn't explain it otherwise) :)
A podcast is just an mp3 that you can listen to. The person running a podcast will usually do episodes of information. You "subscribe" to their podcast using a RSS feed. This is just a way to track when the podcast owner updates the podcast so you can get the update. Don't worry about actually knowing what an RSS feed is, just click the words "Subscribe Now" and open it in your ITunes and enjoy!
An easy way to subscribe is through ITunes. On the left bar of your ITunes you will see the words "podcasts". When you click on this you will see all the podcasts that you are subscribed to. On the bottom right you will see "podcast directory." This is where you can find a variety (and plethera) of topics in video and audio podcasts.
So just find a podcast you are interested in (such as whatsthetruthgeorge...found at http://www.whatsthetruthgeorge.com *shameless plug I know*) and subscribe and start enjoying. At this time, podcasts are totally free and easy to access! But don't forget to tip your waiter (or in this case your podcast master ;)) Podcasts take a lot of time, energy and love to create.... donations are accepted and greatly appreciated. It just shows you care ;)
Subscribe through ITunes to receive the newest episodes of What's the Truth, George?
