Streaming technology was all right, but required the user to sit in front of the computer to listen to the audio. I started by using Flash format, which was cool but time-consuming to create from scratch. I tried <a href=\"http:\/\/www.doxaweb.com\/assets\/cpo_audio\/marriage1.wma\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Windows Media<\/strong><\/a> format, which made preparation of the content easier, but was, well, to put it charitably\u2026 a Microsoft technology, with all of the quirky behaviors that accompany it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But <strong>podcasting<\/strong> is much more like subscription radio. You receive the content with &#8220;podcatching&#8221; software. I recommend using iTunes (which is a free download from Apple&#8217;s website). Basically, you open iTunes and tell it where to go on the web to find the content you&#8217;re interested in. You simply type in a <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Url\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>URL<\/strong><\/a> (website address) to &#8220;subscribe&#8221; to the content, so that any time new audio is available from that website, iTunes will let you know and give you the option of downloading it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once a podcast has been downloaded to your computer, it can be either played on your computer or saved onto a portable music player (MP3 player &#8211; an iPod or other similar device) so that you can listen to it wherever, whenever. (By the way, this is not an Apple technology: you don&#8217;t have to use iTunes and an iPod. There are other free programs that let you subscribe to podcasts.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My new podcast, DoxaPod Audio, is now listed in the Catholic Podcast Directory, and I&#8217;m going to see if I can get it recognized by the iTunes site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For you techie types, the whole podcast craze is driven by <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/RSS_%28file_format%29\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">RSS technology<\/a><\/strong>, which is basically a way of marking up web content so that it can be located by programs like iTunes and iPodder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Even though I&#8217;ve played around with creating streaming audio for the web for the past four years, I never explored the possibility of podcasting until this week.
