Running Injury Free
One of the new and popular, technologies on the Internet is podcasting. The name, podcasting,
comes from the Apple iPod, and it consists of the use of audio MP3 files to
convey information. The podcaster records his or her message, perhaps adding
music to enhance the spoken word. The MP3 files are placed on a server and are
available for download over the Internet. The downloads can be to the Windows
Media Player or to the Apple iTunes player for listening via your computer sound
system. Persons having iPods or portable MP3 players can sync the files to
their portable players. However, you don't need an iPod or MP3 player to listen to the
podcasts.
Some podcast servers
give links to the MP3 files and allow you to directly access the MP3 files.
Other servers only make available the address of the "feed" for the podcast. The
"feed" is a software interface (RSS) to the MP3 files that allows a podcast
receiver to play the files. The
receiver program allows you to "subscribe" to the podcasts of your choice, and it
checks the subscriptions regularly for new podcasts. When new podcasts are
found, they are downloaded for your use. You can schedule the receiver to
download during the night while you're asleep, and the new podcasts will be
available when you wake up.
My podcast, called
Running Injury Free, has its RSS "feed" at the following address.
http://allen.audioblog.com/rss/runninginjuryfree.xml
To subscribe to my podcast, just give your
receiver program that address. The RSS "feed" has all of the information needed by the
receiver program to set up the subscription and to scan the podcast for new posts. You
can program the receiver to periodically scan for new podcasts and to
automatically push them to your MP3 player software on your computer.
So far, I've
published the following episodes:
