Medical Podcasts

What is Podcasting?

Podcasting is a digital recording of a radio broadcast made available on the Internet for downloading to a personal audio player or a computer. Once a provider serves the data as a Podcast feed, users can listen to it on their PC or Mac by using Podcasting software (see below.) Since Podcasts are MP3 audio files, you can transfer feeds to your MP3 player.

How do I listen to Podcasts?

To listen to the feeds on your computer, you need to download Podcasting software. There are many free or commercial podcasting applications available for download. Here are a select few:

iTunes
Doppler
Smartfeed
Odeo
