sparx 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2005 I've just been introduced to the world of Podcasting and was wondering if there are any podcasts that users here might recommend... I have found that each average podcast lasts about 30 minutes and is usually encoded @ 128 kbps in MP3 format. So, expect sizes of around 25 - 30 MB. In any case, downloading it takes time on my measly and choking Net connection so I resort to lining up the download URLs and downloading them @ night when my PC isn't in use (except for SETI). I think Podcasting can, in layman's terms be described as "downloadable talk-radio". In all honesty I can also say with some degree of understanding - I now understand why only some people sound good on Radio ! Have a look @ The Best Damn Tech Show Period.

timkroesbergen 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2005 Podcasting is many recommendations worth, also mine.A quick tutorial:You can find many podcasts at:http://www.podcastalley.com/ & http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/At a podcast site you can see a "RSS" or a "XML" button. Press it and copy the URL into a podcast reciever, see under here To subscribe to a podcast, you need a podcast reciever. You can download a very good one at: http://juicereceiver.sourceforge.net/index.phpLast but not least; you can publish you own podcast at https://www.libsyn.com/------------------------------------------------------ Recommendations to listen: 1. The Daily Sourcecode @ http://www.dailysourcecode.com/2. The Dawn and Drew Show @ http://dawnanddrew.com/3. Catholic Insider @ https://sqpn.com/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The authors of the podcasts want you to listen to their views and the only way to do so is by downloading the MP3 file. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
