HOW TO PODCAST
It's as easy as 1-2-3.

1. Get some podcast software
You have to download a piece of software which will search the web to find the latest version of the radio show you want. A list of software can be found at podcastingnews.com. Always read the set-up and help guides for new software.

If you use iTunes then you must use version 5 or above. The latest version of iTunes can be found here - iTunes software download. If you are using iTunes then all you have to do is click on the "subscribe" button. This will automatically open the desired podcast in iTunes. Clicking on the subscribe button inside iTunes (next to the picture of the podcast) will then start downloading the show. All done! You can now go to step 3.

2. Add the address of the 'feed' to your podcasting software
Once you have installed the podcast software to your pc, then you can choose the radio programme you'd like automatically delivered to your home computer every time there is a new show. To 'subscribe' to a show you copy the URL address of the podcast 'feed' and add it to your podcast software. Detailed instructions on how to add a feed should be provided with your podcasting software.

3. Start downloading
When a new show you have subscribed for becomes available your software will automatically download it. On completion you can listen to the mp3 on your pc or transfer it to an mp3 player (such as an IPod) to listen later or on the move.
The software will download any subsequent shows as soon as they become available. As a general rule - our podcasts will be made available shortly after broadcast. In some cases this maybe be several hours.
