Podcasting is the latest development in the rapidly growing field of portability. Podcasting allows radio listeners to choose the exact time they want to listen to a program. Basically it allows you to have what you want, when you want.

A podcast is a MP3 audio file that can be automatically downloaded to your personal computer and in turn transferred to an iPod or other MP3 player. In order to do this, a podcasting application is used to “add” a podcast. The program checks the site regularly and starts a download whenever it finds a new MP3 file. WBJB.org is offering podcasts of it’s daily local News and Muscians Update (for now).

To start podcasting the basic requirements you’ll need are a computer, podcasting software and an Internet connection. To take your podcast with you, an iPod or any MP3 player is needed. To begin, download and install podcasting software onto your computer (PC or Mac). Though every application is different, there are generally directions to “add” a podcast feed (usually just as simple as copying and pasting the podcast URL, which are found below, into your podcasting application).
