A Podcast is the distribution of audio
or video files, such as preached messages, radio programs or
music videos, over the internet. You can either download
single episodes , or subscribe for regular delivery of new
releases. If you subscribe to a podcast, your podcast
facilitator (program) will check regularly for new episodes,
and automatically download any releases you have not yet
received - this function is what distinguishes podcasting
from a simple download or real-time streaming. Most
facilitators also allow you to choose manual download, when
new episodes are released they appear under the podcast
and you decide when to download, this can be useful if you
have download limits on your internet account.
Once downloaded you can listen to episodes whenever you
want, wherever you want, either on your computer, or by
transferring them to a portable device (e.g iPod or MP3
player).
The River Weekly Messages, our weekly podcasts, are
available free through iTunes or your chosen podcast
facilitator. |
