GETTING
STARTED: What is a "Godcast"?
A Godcast is a
"podcast of religious nature, such as
Christian
music, preaching, seminary lectures, Bible readings, meditations
and kids' programs" (wikipedia definition)
O.K...so
then what
is a Podcast? A podcast
is similar to a radio show, or an audio recording on a cassette,
except instead of listening on a radio or tape player, you can listen
to podcasts
on your PC, on the web, or on your iPod or other MP3 player. One "podcast" is
actually a show- a series of episodes that are posted on-line.

If you
are brand new to listening to podcasts, welcome to an exciting
new world! Here are a few of the coolest things about
podcasts...
- There are podcasts
on every topic - what interests you? Sports? Music? Scuba Diving?
Since you are here, we hope growing in your Christian walk is
a priority in your life. Now you can listen to sermons, Christian
music podcasts, and other "godcasts" whereever
you are!
- Most podcasts
are audio files (MP3 format), that can be played on your computer
or any MP3 player (like the iPod). But there are an increasing
number of video podcasts as well, and we have some good ones in
this directory (Category Ranking "Video Podcasts")
- You can listen
on your computer, but since
you can also put them on your MP3 player, you can listen anywhere-
in the
car,
while you talk a walk, workout, clean the house, or drive to work...whereever
you go, your podcasts can go!
- Don't have an
MP3 player? No problem! You can listen or watch on-line and on
your PC, too.
- Broadband internet
makes getting new podcasts very easy...to get
new episodes of shows you like, you do practically
nothing! All you do is use software on your
PC called a "podcatcher" (most people use iTunes)
and subscribe once to a podcast. Then when you launch iTunes,
your computer automatically
downloads the latest shows (many people open iTunes before
going to bed, then they have all of their new podcasts in
the morning).
- If you have
an iPod or other MP3 player, you set it up to sync up with iTunes,
and all of them are downloaded to your iPod as well, and you are
ready to go!
- Oh and did
we mention...almost
all podcasts are free!
