What is Podcasting?

Podcasting is a technology which allows you to play MP3s via your iPod or other MP3 player, so that you can listen to programs at your leisure over and over again.

To begin, just decide which shows you'd like to receive, and then "subscribe" to those programs. Podcasting software (iTunes or other) will automatically check for any new audio files that become available and download those files to your computer or directly to your audio player keeping you up-to-date so that you never miss an episode. Here's a step-by-step guide:

Step 1: Download the Podcasting Software
If you already use Apple's free iTunes software (for Windows or Mac), the easiest way to start receiving podcasts is be sure to download the latest version. You can also use Juice if you prefer.

Step 2: Select Feed
Login to Dr. Mendribil's Maximum Vitality Podcast. Click on Podcast Home from the top menu. From the Podcast Directory, choose the show you would like to subscribe to.

Then just tell the software how often you want it to check for new shows (in "Podcasts" section under iTunes > "Preferences" menu) and where to put them (in your iTunes folder, for example), and you're ready to go. You may also set preferences for automatic synching to your MP3 device. For additional questions, visit the iTunes podcasting FAQ page.
