What is a Podcast?
A Podcast is a collection of audio or video content that's powered by subscription software called RSS. Just like a magazine automatically gets delivered to your home when you subscribe, a podcast delivers new content directly to you -- without you having to check on the Web site for updates.
How do I Subscribe?
To subscribe to a Podcast, you need a couple of items:
- Podcasting software -- There are any number of free programs that you can download to play your podcasts -- itunes and ipodder are the most common.
The URL of your podcast's RSS/XML feed: Beside each of our podcasts, you'll see an orange XML graphic. By clicking on this, you view the actual RSS/XML feed for that particular podcast. Most software will ask you for the URL of the podcast to which you'd like to subscribe. To provide this, click the XML graphic on the page and copy the URL that appears at the top. Note: some software, such as itunes, won't prompt you for the URL but will instead list podcasts in a directory on their site. In this case, simply do a keyword search for "NASA" in the podcast directory, and all available NASAcasts should show up.
The URL of this podcast RSS/XML feed is: http://sunearthday.nasa.gov/podcasts/podrss.xml
What do I get when I've subscribed?
When you subscribe, you can go directly into your podcast software and have it search for new content. All the latest Podcast updates will automatically get downloaded for you. You can then choose to listen or view the content right then, or download it to a portable listening device for later viewing or listening.
