What is a podcast?

A podcast is a series of audio and video clips which come out on a semi-regular basis as episodes. A podcast is a little bit like an online radio-show, except that you can download and enjoy the episodes whenever you like, rather than having to tune into a particular station at a particular time.

How to enjoy the podcast...

There are a few different ways to keep up to date and listen/watch the podcast episodes. One is to simply visit http://www.ewb.ca/audiofields regularly to check if a new episode has come out. Another is to use special software to automatically keep up to date. If you already listen to music on your computer using iTunes or WinAmp for example, you already have this software, and you can read on for instructions on "subscribing" to the podcast. Once you subscribe using your music player, your player will automatically download the latest episode and let you know so you can listen to it whenever you like.
