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.
Channels
When you subscribe to a podcast, you can optionally add it to a channel you
set up. Channels can be groups of podcasts with a certain topic, all the
podcasts associated with an event, or even for a geographical region The most
obvious use is to categorize your podcasts. You can add all of your music
podcasts to a "music" channel
and you video gaming podcasts to a
"gaming" channel, you news
podcasts in "news" and so on.
There is a customized feed that is generated for each of your channels, as
well as audio and video filters to get just one media type.
You can also use channels to define how you listen to podcasts. If you have a
number of podcasts that you wish to listen to while at work, put them in a
"work" channel. Then add the
feed for your work channel to your podcast client on your work computer or go
to the channels page and stream them.
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, make a
"PSP" channel and add that feed
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 channels to see the podcasts that other people are
interested in in almost any topic. 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.
