What is a Podcast?

A podcast is a segment of audio data, often in the style of a radio show, which you can listen to at your convenience, either by streaming it from a web site, downloading it to your computer and listening with your media player, or by loading it onto your MP3 player or Ipod.

Instructions

• To save an MP3 file to a folder of your choice on your computer, you need to follow the instructions below. Otherwise, some browsers, depending on settings, will download and play the MP3 from a 'Temp File'. Then if you want to play the file again later, it can be quite hard to find. It will also soon be deleted from your hard drive.
• To download on a PC: Right click the 'Download MP3' link, and 'Save Target As'
• To download on a Mac: Hold down the Control button and click.
• If you are using another browser that has different methods, the key point is to save the MP3 files in the same way that you save other files, such as PDFs and images, via your browser.
