What is a podcast?
Podcasts are audio files that are automatically delivered directly to your computer and can be transferred to your iPod or other portable MP3 player or burned on to a CD. If you are familiar with RSS, simply think of podcasting as RSS for audio.

How do I get started?
To get started, all you need is podcasting software, such as iTunes. Once you have downloaded and installed the software, you can subscribe to the Ashbrook podcast. In iTunes, this is done by selecting "Advanced" in the toolbar along the top of the program window and then selecting "Subscribe to Podcast." This will bring up a window with a text box for the podcast's URL. Enter the URL and you will be subscribed.

How much does it cost?
All Ashbrook podcasts are free of charge.

Do I need an iPod to listen to a podcast?
No. While many podcast users do listen on their portable MP3 players, you can also listen straight from your PC using a program such as iTunes or you can download the files and burn them on to a CD which can then be played on a regular CD player.

What audio format do Ashbrook podcasts use?
Ashbrook podcasts are available in .mp3 format, and will work in virtually any audio player software or portable MP3 player.
