What is Podcasting?
Podcasting combines the terms iPod and broadcasting to describe a new kind of radio for your computer and MP3 player. Some have described podcasting as a kind of TiVo for audio on the Internet.
A podcast enables you to easily download audio files to your computer. Most podcasts are MP3 files. You use a free application to "subscribe" to KCET's feed, the application checks the site regularly and starts a download whenever it finds something new. Then you can upload the audio from your computer to any MP3 player. That means you can listen to this feature and more KCET special features any time you like, wherever you like!
How do you get started?
Here's what you'll need: a computer, an Internet connection, an MP3 player (if you want to take it with you) and some free podcasting software. That's it!
Install one of the free podcast readers on your computer, (works on both PC and Mac). See links below. Follow the directions to "subscribe" to KCET's feed — usually just as simple as pasting any one (or all) of these URLs:
ARTSblock Live!
Web Stories
ALOUD at the Central Library
Hammer Museum
Skirball Cultural Center
REDCAT Theater
KCET Off-Air
The next time you synch your iPod, or other portable MP3 player, KCET will be there.
