It's a new way that ABC can automatically send you some of our radio programming to your portable device. To do this, you subscribe to the podcast by downloading a small piece of software that manages all of your podcast subscriptions. When connected to the internet, the software searches for the latest edition of the program on our website, and will download it to a folder on your computer, ready for when you next plug in your portable mp3 device. This means that you don't have to manually search for new programs to download on this website. It happens automatically!
I have added a podcast feed to this folder. To subscribe please point
your copy of iTunes, or iPodder
(which is now called Juice)
to http://www.rupert.id.au/podcasts/dircaster.php
Podcasting from your personal UoB website
It is now possible to set up podcasting quite simply from your personal
web space on the staff and student server, http://velorum.ballarat.edu.au.
Download the application file (a small PHP script and test MP3 file)
using this link: ubpodcaster.zip
Note that the file will need to be unzipped with WinZip or similar.
It is illegal to make available for podcasting any material in which
you don't own the copyright or for which you don't have copyright release.
Essentially, this service is provided to enable you to distribute spoken
material that you have recorded yourself. For detailed copyright information
visit www.ballarat.edu.au/copyright.
It is your responsibility to ensure that no material that infringes copyright
is podcast. If we identify infringements the offending material will be
deleted and your web account may be cancelled. Under no circumstances
can commercially recorded music be made available via this service.
Thanks to Ian Wright for this information and for providing the script
and instructions.

Internet. Radio National

Radio National programs are available for podcast:
There are many other podcasts available on the Internet for a list of some other

Podcasts are usually in MP3 format, which means you can play them on a computer
or Notebook or portable MP3 player such as an Ipod.
It is also possible to burn audio CD-ROM’s from MP3 Podcasts or to purchase
a specialised CD player that will
play MP3 files. To subscribe to podcasts I recommend a program called Ipoder
available from http://ipodder.sourceforge.net/
