What is a Podcast?
Podcasts are simply audio files, compressed into the popular MP3 format. While you can come to the site and download them manually, the true beauty of podcasting is in the ability to use software (what is normally referred to as either a ‘podcast client’ or a ‘podcast aggregator’) to automatically download the content that interests you as soon as it is updated.
Here at THROTTLECAST, our content gets updated every week. So, if for example, you are interested in motorcycles, you could set up a software ’subscription’ (don’t worry, there’s no money involved… it’s purely a terminology which refers to the action of the software) to THROTTLECAST.COM. Then, whenever you’re connected to the ‘net, your podcast client will continually monitor THROTTLECAST.COM, and whenever it finds a new episode of THROTTLECAST on our server, it will download it for you. This eliminates the ‘click and wait’ annoyance of the internet, because the first thing you know is when your podcast client tells you that not only is there a new episode of your favorite content available, but it has already downloaded it for you, and it’s ready to play… NOW! And essentially that is the beauty of “Podcasting” you are in control of what you listen to and more importantly you get to listen to it when you want.
NO you dont need an iPod but we highly recommend them!
You can use any device that is capable of downloading and playing an MP3 file. So any of the popular MP3 players will work{iPod, Creative, iRiver etc etc} Alternatively you can download the Audio File (MP3) to your computer (Desktop or Laptop) and listen to it via your computers MP3 player. Or you can download the audio files you want to listen to and then “burn” them to a CD and listen to them in your car or on any CD player.
