Top of pageFrequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is a podcast?
A podcast is like a radio show that you can download and listen to whenever you want. What makes a podcast different from a normal audio file hosted online is that you can subscribe so it will automatically download to your computer whenever a new episode of a particular show is released. This facility will be available when the next podcast is published.
I don't have an iPod.
You don't need an iPod to listen to a podcast. All you need is a computer connected to the Internet that can play audio files. If you have a portable mp3 player such as an iPod you can download the podcast file from your computer to your mp3 player so you can listen to the podcast when you are on the train, walking the dog or sitting in the garden.
Can I download the podcast files onto a CD?
Yes, just go to the podcast home page and right-click on 'Listen', then select 'save link as' (Firefox) or 'save target as' (Internet Explorer), and save the file to your computer. Then you can burn the files onto a CD.
