How
do you get started?
The basic requirements for podcasting are a computer, podcasting
software (see above) and an Internet connection (the higher the
speed, the better). To take your podcast with you, an iPod or
any MP3 player is also needed.
To
begin, download and install podcasting software onto your computer
(PC or Mac). Though every application is different, there are
generally directions to "add" or "subscribe to"
a podcast feed (usually just as simple as copying and pasting
the podcast URL, found in the 
icon, from the list above into your podcasting application).
In iTunes, version 4.9 and higher, the process for subscribing
to podcasts and even downloading single podcast files is greatly
simplified. Here is a link to 
KCRW's
iTunes Podcast page.
Once
subscribed to a podcast, the next time you "Check for New
Podcasts", an MP3 of your selected program will be on your
computer, and if you're set up for it, on your iPod as well.
Please
note:
The podcast RSS links are set to be available for about 30 days.
