Help with Podcast Audio Files
What is a podcast?
A podcast is a digital audio file (usually an MP3) that is available for downloading online.
The editors of the New Oxford American Dictionary declared "podcasting" the 2005 word of the year, defining the term as "a digital recording of a radio broadcast or similar program, made available on the Internet for downloading to a personal audio player".[2] The name has aroused some controversy for implying one needs an iPod to listen to podcasts. In fact, a podcast can be any sort of audio file.
The podcast files on this website are saved as MP3 (digital audio) files. These files should be downloaded to your computer for later listening. The file size is noted at the end of the link so you can estimate your download time.
