Podcasting Basics

What is podcasting?
Podcasting is a web-based broadcast medium that makes listening to your favorite exercise routine, Lighten Up Lifestyle audio, interview or music easy and portable.

A Podcast is a audio file that you can download onto your iPod or MP3 player.To download a podcast or audio to your computer, you can just right-click the download link next to each podcast episode or audio and “Save As” to download it where you want on your computer. Then, depending on how you set up your portable media device, you can move the podcast file to the folder your device is linked to when it syncs with your computer and - voila! - the podcast will appear on your device.

If you have an iPod you can do the following (before you start, you need to have iTunes installed on your computer)

1) iTunes will open if it is not already, and the podcast will be added to your podcast subscription list (click the Settings button at the bottom of the page to adjust how many podcast episodes are automatically downloaded).
2) Connect your iPod to your computer; an iPod summary will pop up automatically in your iTunes window.
3) Under the Podcasts tab, adjust the number of podcasts you want to sync as well as the number of episodes from each podcast.
4) Click the Sync button at the lower right (if it doesn’t sync automatically).
5) Disconnect your iPod when it’s finished syncing. Your podcasts will be available under the Podcasts section on your iPod’s menu.
