Question

Also, where do I find a podcast? 10 points!

Answer 1

No need to offer points. We answer because it's fun.

To answer your questions in order:

1. A podcast is a show with episodes.

2. Sometimes you have to pay.  Often you don't. It will be obvious.

3. You can listen or watch directly on your computer, or put it on a player to take with you. Ipod is an example of a player.  If you subscribe, you'll get new episodes automatically. To subscribe, you need a free program like itunes or juice, or "My Yahoo". The first two will grab and hold the new episodes until you are ready to check for them. "My Yahoo" can be set up to email you when a new episode comes out.

4. There are several ways to find a podcast. You can go to a search engine and type in your favorite topic plus the word podcast. You'll be taken to websites that will have all the instructions to listen or subscribe.  Or, since many podcasters list on itunes, you can go there and browse your favorite networks, like PBS.

Answer 2

A podcast is a series of digital-media files which are distributed over the Internet using syndication feeds for playback on portable media players and computers. The term podcast, like broadcast, can refer either to the series of content itself or to the method by which it is syndicated; the latter is also called podcasting. The host or author of a podcast is often called a podcaster.

Press the subsribe button. You don't have to pay for most of them. You can find a podcast on Itunes, most of them are free!

a podcast is the method of distributing multimedia files, such as audio or video programs, over the Internet using syndication feeds.  To subscribe to one you can usually just hit a button that says subscribe on either itunes or yahoo etc.  Or there will be a rss feed button and you can click that and save the podcast to your computer.  Podcasts are free.  To use one you find a podcast site or the site that the podcast is on and you can view it from there or just subscribe to it.  You can also make your own podcast on sites like podomatic.com.
