| What
do I need to get started?
|
| You’ll
need a computer with an internet connection. To listen
to a podcast on your computer, you’ll need a sound
card, which you already have if you’ve listened
to music on your computer, or heard anything at all.
Most new computers have a sound card.
If
you want to take the podcasts with you, you’ll
need an mp3 player such as an iPod or iRiver. After
you download the podcast to you computer, you transfer
it to you mp3 player.

| Great.
How do I get a podcast?

to a Podcast:

an all-in-one program: you can use it to play your music
collection, subscribe to and download podcasts, buy
music and videos, and more.
If
you have iTunes, click the iTunes icon
next to the podcast you want to subscribe to. Then iTunes
will automatically download new episodes of the show.
