What is podcasting?
Podcasting makes a video file, typically an MPEG-4 file, available online for downloading via an automatic "feed." You can then see the podcast whenever you want from your computer or a portable media player.

What do I need to hear podcasts?
The first thing you need is podcast subscription software. One option is the latest version of Apple's iTunes (which has the software built in) to manage your podcast subscriptions. At this point, you will already be able to watch podcast video from your computer (provided your computer has the necessary software to play MPEG-4 video files such as Quicktime Player or Windows Media Player). If you want to also make your podcasts portable, you will need to transfer them from your computer to a portable media device.

How do I subscribe to a podcast?
To subscribe to any podcast(s) listed above, right-click on the "Pod" graphic or link (or Control-click in MacOS) and select "Copy Link Location" or "Copy Shortcut." You may then paste the link into your podcasting software.

How do I unsubscribe to a podcast?
If you wish to unsubscribe to a podcast, please be sure to delete the entire feed entry (not just the individual audio editions) in your subscription management software. If you no longer regularly listen to a particular podcast, clearing that feed helps us contain costs associated with our podcasting service.

I subscribed to a podcast. Why don't I hear anything?
First, be sure that you have video player software; then, verify that the correct video file was downloaded to your computer. You may need to modify the update settings in your podcasting software to ensure that this process occurs automatically. Next, check the update times in the description and make sure that a new edition should have been posted. If a videofile is not present and the feed time has passed, please contact us.

I don't want to subscribe to the podcast - how do I hear the audio or see the video?
No problem! From the Teacher's Space page, click on the "stream entire show" which will play the file from the NewsDepth website or "download entire show" which will download am
MPEG-4 file of the show to your computer directly from the podcast feed page without using a podcast subscription program or service.
