Podcasting technology--regular audio programs delivered via the Internet, which you can listen to when you want, where you want--has existed for less than a year and already more than 4,000 podcasts and an estimated 6 million American adult listeners have sprung up around the globe. Here to lead readers into this brave, new world of mass audio blogging-and quite possibly change their listening habits forever--is a fun, fact-filled guide that shows readers how to find, create, and distribute podcasts. Author Bart Farkas recognizes that this concept is new to many and starts at the beginning, explaining what podcasting is, how it came into being, and how it promises to change the world. From there, he goes on to cover the basics: podcast-grabbing software, MP3 players for listening to podcasts, the types of podcasts out there, and more. For readers who won't be satisfied just listening to podcasts, Bart also shows how to create them, covering the hardware and software readers will need as well as distribution options and legal issues. Interviews with real-world podcasting masters are highlighted throughout.
