Whats a podcast

OK where do I get 'em

Podcasts are audio files that can be downloaded or streamed to PCs or mobile devices. Being able to listen to podcasts on smart phones is what has made podcasts more accessible to me. I had previously downloaded and listened to the occasional technology podcasts. But making the time to sit down and listen to the podcast or copy it to an mp3 player was something I did have time to do.

When I got a Nokia smart phone I used the inbuilt podcast player to subscribe to to podcasts I was interested in. Just after I got my first android smart phone
