Jazzing up your Audio

Assignment #21 Podcasts, Shmodcasts!

Podcasts can be a great way to listen to audio content that you might not otherwise have access to. Your local public radio station canceled jazz programing? You can still listen to Jazz Profiles with Nancy Wilson by downloading the podcast of the show from the NPR podcast directory. Listen to it on your computer, or carry it with you on your portable MP3 player/iPod. Plus many new car stereos play MP3s. (Note: Don't try to download a podcast without a broadband connection....one 45 min. Jazz Profiles episode is 25 MB.)

There are many places to find podcasts. Try searching on a subject you are interested in and the word podcast. For example I searched Google on the words "dog training" and "podcast" and found several. There are also many metasites and services (such as iTunes and PodcastAlley) where one can find a large assortment.
