Podcasting is a way of receiving your favorite audio programs automatically. When a site offers a podcast feed, you can subscribe to the feed (available for free) using podcasting software known as “podcast aggregators” or “podcatchers” (also for free). Then, when any new programs are made available, they will be automatically downloaded to your computer. This saves your having to search for new audio programs. Despite the name, no iPod is required. You can listen to the audio on your computer or download it to any device that plays MP3 files.

This orange icon is the universal symbol that indicates when a podcast feed is available. You will find this icon in the newer versions of your browser in the address bar whenever a podcast feed is available.
