 Podcasts
Podcasting
is a method of publishing audio broadcasts via the Internet,
allowing users to subscribe to a feed of new
files (usually MP3s). Many content providers offer podcast
feeds at no cost. These feeds deliver audio broadcasts to
your desktop.
You
can listen to these files on your computer using any media
player like Windows Media Player or Real Audio or load
them on to your MP3 player and take them with you. The
word "podcasting" combines
the words "broadcasting" and "iPod." The
term can be misleading since neither podcasting nor listening
to podcasts requires an iPod or any portable music player.
Required Software
All you need to get started is podcasting software. Once
you download and install the software, simply subscribe
to the U.S. Joint Forces Command podcast feed linked below.
The podcasting software will automatically check for
updates
and download the files to your computer so you can load
them onto your MP3 player.
Getting Started
To receive the feeds in your podcasting application,
follow the instructions below: Drag and drop this pod icon  or
paste the following URL http://www.jfcom.mil/newscast.xml
into your podcasting application.
The
podcasting software will get the news feed
and load it into your application, automatically updating
every day so that you will have the latest version delivered
to your
desktop.
Now
press the play button and you should be hearing or seeing
the podcast.
