PODCASTS

A podcast is simply a digital media file of a radio-style program, distributed over the Internet, typically in MP3 format.
Internet radio, another form of audio program, streams live content over the Internet in real time. To listen to it, you have to be connected to the Internet.
But Podcasts don’t operate in real time, they are pre-recorded programs.
You download podcasts from the Internet into iTunes on your computer. You then play these podcasts – on your computer or your iPod – even when you're not connected to the Internet.
Most podcasts are free in iTunes Store.

Find Audio podcasts

Remember, podcasts are not available in the iTunes Store for some countries.
To browse for podcasts in iTunes;
  • Open iTunes.
  • Select iTunes Store under STORE. The iTunes Store contents appear.
  • Click the Podcasts link.
  • A message appears. It says, "Accessing iTunes Store".
  • While the Store is being accessed, the iTunes progress bar moves.
  • The iTunes Store page then opens – and the available podcasts appear.
Though iTunes Store offers thousands of free podcasts, you still find podcasts available for download on other websites.
Apple lets you manage these podcasts through iTunes.
Some of these sites are:
