Podcasting

Podcasting: very simple. You can do it without an iPod, and you can do it whether you own a Mac or a PC. Podcasting is just a way to download every episode of our show to listen to on your own schedule.

Chris Lydon hosted the first podcast, so we’re particularly fond of passing out our work this way. We make every show available under a Creative Commons license, so store them, copy them and pass them on. (And we’re serious about the first podcast. Look it up.)

If Not (and Seriously Don’t Sweat It)

First, download and install iTunes. Like we said, this will work on a Mac or a PC. Once you’ve done that, open iTunes and click “Advanced” and then “Subscribe to Podcast.”

Use iTunes to subscribe to podcast 1

Then copy and past the following text into the field labeled “URL”:

Use iTunes to subscribe to podcast 2

That’s it. You’re done. A new show will arrive in your iTunes every day we put one out. Enjoy.
