What are Podcasts?

Podcasts are online broadcasts made by thousands of people worldwide. There are podcasts on every topic including, knitting, sci-fi, politics and technology. Whatever your interest, there is likely a podcast out there for you. CastRoller makes it easy to find and listen to all podcasts.

Tagging

When you subscribe to a podcast, you can optionally use one or more tags to describe the podcast. Tags are single words that you use to describe a podcast. These can be used in different ways. The most obvious use is to categorize your podcasts. You can tag all of your music podcasts with "music", all of your video gaming podcasts with "gaming", you news podcasts with "news" and so on. There is a customized feed that is generated for each of your tags.

You can also use tags to define how you listen to podcasts. If you have a number of podcasts that you wish to listen to while at work, tag them with "work". Then add feed for your work tag to your podcast client on your work computer. Do you have podcasts that you would like to watch on your PlayStation Portable? Instead of going though and adding each podcast to your PSP, tag them with "PSP" and add the feed for that tag to your console.

Finding Podcasts

CastRoller makes it easy to find new podcasts to listen to. Using the search box on the top of every page, you can search podcast descriptions. You can also search through the tags on the system to see the podcasts that other people are interested in.

You can preview a podcast by just clicking on the play button. The podcast will start to play right in your browser. There is no need to download the MP3 file. And if you decide you like the podcast, you can subscribe with just one click.
