Getting Started - Podcast Basics
Podcasting lets you automatically receive the latest episode of your chosen programme as soon as it's available. You can "subscribe" to a podcast, rather like you might subscribe to a magazine and get it delivered each week. An important difference is that all of the BBC's podcasts are free, and you can stop receiving the files at any time.
