For those of you who have been living under a rock for the last five years, podcasts are recorded audio programs that can be downloaded and listened to on a computer or media player. You can subscribe to regular podcasts or pick and choose episodes based on your preferences. They are mostly free and subscribing is as easy as a mouse click.
Podcasts are like making up your own news/talk radio station with only the stuff you want to listen to. You can find podcasts about nearly any topic under the sun. Besides the content customization issue, podcasts’ portability separates them from traditional radio programs that play only at a certain time on a certain channel – although most traditional radio programs now have podcast versions, too.
