What is a Podcast?
"Podcasting" is a portmanteau, combing "broadcasting" with the name of Apple Computer's iPod audio player (although podcasting was not invented by Apple, nor do podcasts require a portable player or Apple software).
It is distinct from other types of online audio delivery because of its subscription model, which uses the RSS 2.0 file format. Podcasting enables independent producers to create self-published, syndicated "radio shows," and gives broadcast radio programs a new distribution channel. Listeners may subscribe to feeds using "podcatching" software (a type of "aggregator"), which periodically checks for and downloads new content. Some podcatching software is also able to synchronise (copy) podcasts to portable music players. Any digital audio player or computer with audio-playing software can play podcasts. The same technique can deliver video files, and by 2005 some aggregators could play video as well as audio. Hunter's shows will be available by PODCAST within 48 hours of his LIVE streaming show. An archive page will also be available where you can click to listen if you decide not to subscribe to his podcasts. To subscribe, simply download the FREE ZIEPOD PODCAST READER software that will automatically install on your PC. Then subscribe you to his 'feed'. Whenever we publish a new Radio Show, your ZIEPOD PODCAST READER software will automatically download the show for you. You can listen to his shows when you want, either on your computer or any other mediaplayer that plays MP3/WMA files like an iPod or cellphone. You'll never have to check this site for new programming and you'll have the show to replay for as long as you'd like. You can subscribe to thousands of internet shows and music sites.
