What is a podcast?

Originating from the words “ipod” and “broadcast”, a podcast is a type of radio show; designed to be listened to online, on your computer, or ‘on the road’ (this can be on any mp3 or CD player – an iPod is not essential)! Podcasts can be downloaded, it is completely free to do so, and can therefore be listened to whenever and wherever you choose. Podcasts can cover any conceivable subject, and can be anything from talk shows to comedic skits – the possibilities are endless.

Downloading / Subscribing to DiscCast

There are two main ways to listen to DiscCast:

1. iTunes – Through itunes (free download HERE), listeners can subscribe to DiscCast, which will ensure that when new episodes are released, they will be downloaded automatically. We do recommend this, but alternatively single episodes can be downloaded. Once you have downloaded, installed and opened iTunes, you can find DiscCast in the music store, under the heading Podcasts. Once the podcast page is open, a simple search (for ‘DiscCast’) will find the show, and allow you to download for free.

HERE. Once on the page, scroll to the bottom to find your desired episode, and simply right click and select ‘save target as’ to download. At podcast alley, you can also subscribe to, and vote for, our podcast.
