About Podcasts

Podcasts are mp3 files that may be played on any computer or mp3 player. You do not need an iPod to listen to a podcast. They were given their name because with the proper software you can have them downloaded and placed onto an iPod automatically. There are two ways to listen to WakeGOV podcasts: streaming or downloading.

Streaming
When you click a link for one of the podcasts above, your browser will automatically launch an mp3 player on your computer and start playing the podcast. This means that you don’t have to wait for the entire file to download before listening to it. For this to work you must have an mp3 player installed, such as Microsoft Media Player.

Downloading
If you want to save a podcast onto your computer and listen to it later, you can right-click a download link and select Save Target As… Once it has been completely downloaded, you can open it in any program that plays mp3 files, or transfer it to an mp3 player, such as an iPod.
