Secrets Revealed Podcast

There you are, flipping through the radio stations once again, looking for SOMETHING, ANYTHING, worth listening to. Maybe you’ll find a song here or there that you like, or a talk show on a topic that interests you. Then it’s time to flip the seasons again. “What I need,” you think to yourself, “is my own personal radio station.”

Enter the world of podcasts! Podcasting is like having your own radio station, programmed with your favorite items and ready for you to listen to anywhere, anytime. With podcasting, you can listen to:

[o] What you want

[o] when you want

[o] Where you want

No more searching and hoping to find a radio station that plays your favorite music. No more missing a talk show broadcast because you’re sitting in class or in a meeting at the wrong time. With podcasting, you get just the content you want, from the sources you want, when you want it. And there are no ads or commercials! What Tivo has done for watching TV, podcasting can do for listening to radio, and there are no FCC regulations either!

So what exactly is podcasting? A podcast is an audio file stored on the Internet that you can download to your computer or MP3 player and listen to whenever you want. It can be music, a talk show, a conference, a recorded teleseminar, a sermon, a football game, etc. Podcasting gives you the ultimate in choice and convenience.

o Podcasting is about… CHOICE

Podcasting gives you unlimited options for listening. Although podcasting is a relatively new technology, there are already thousands of podcasts you can subscribe to. Isn’t there a radio station in your city that plays the indy music you love? Check out East Detroit Radio.

You can find a podcast on literally any topic that interests you! In fact, http://www.podcastalley.com currently lists 2,380 podcasts in 15 different categories, while http://www.ipodder.org lists 4,493.

Another advantage of podcasts is that because podcasts can appeal to specific audiences, they can cover their topics in greater depth and be much more informative than regular radio broadcasts, which should appeal to a broad audience. Plus, with a podcast, you can back up and listen to a segment again if you missed something the first time. If you come to a segment that is boring, you can fast-forward. You can listen as many times as you want all or part of the podcast. And you can stop listening all together for a few minutes, hours, or even days if something else comes up.

o Podcasting is about… CONVENIENCE

MP3 files have been available for download from the Internet for years. But what makes podcasting different and really useful is that you can subscribe to shows that interest you. This means you don’t have to check your favorite podcast websites every day for new episodes and download them manually.

Instead, free podcasting software automatically downloads new episodes to your computer as soon as they’re available. This makes it easy and convenient for you to keep up with your favorite podcasts.

Once your podcasts are downloaded to your computer, you can sync them to your MP3 player, burn them to CD for playback on your CD player, or simply listen through your computer speakers. This gives you the ultimate convenience of listening to your programs at your leisure. You can listen to the podcasts whenever you want, while driving, walking, exercising, knitting, etc. With a podcast, you can be mobile, live your life and listen to your content ANYWHERE.

o Podcasting is… FREE AND EASY

Not only are podcasts generally free, so is the podcasting software you need! Both podcasts and podcasting software are easy to find on the internet and easy to use.

Podcasting is… waiting for you!

If you haven’t been exposed to podcasts yet, you soon will be! Podcasts are literally everywhere now, and more podcasts are being created every day.
