Podcasts
Podcasting is like the love-child of radio and Netflix. Imagine your favorite radio programs downloaded on to your favorite listening device (computer, smart phone, iPod, they all work) and you’re imagining a podcast. Most podcasts are episodic and release new material at regular intervals. By subscribing to podcasts they will appear on your favorite listening device each time a new episode is released. If you like talk radio or news radio or audiobooks, you’ll like podcasting.
