» Locate the web address (url) of the Podcast feed (XML file) that you wish to subscribe - usually you can just click on the orange PODCAST or POD button.
» Many podcasting applications will allow you to set the interval that the software will look for a feed update others simply update daily.
» The information in the feed will be updated when the feed contains new content.
Podcasting software or RSS readers are a software application that collects and displays headlines, links to articles, and media content from sources that you have designated.
A Podcast/RSS feed is an XML document that contains the headlines, links to articles, and links to the media content that the podcasting software can then download. |
