Listen Now
The quickest way to enjoy a podcast episode is to click the "Listen" button at the top of each episode listing. Most personal computers can download and playback the audio file for immediate listening.
Or Subscribe (for free)
- 1. Get your podcast software
If you don't already have a podcast application installed on your personal computer, get one! Most are free. Your podcast software will routinely search for the latest episodes of podcasts to which you have subscribed, and it will automatically download them to your computer as they become available. Apple's iTunes is a common podcast application.
- 2. Choose a podcast
After you've installed podcast software on your personal computer, you can subscribe to podcasts.
With most podcast applications, you can subscribe to a given podcast by entering (or copy & paste) the podcast's "RSS feed" link into the software. For the Roanoke Symphony Orchestra's podcast, here is the RSS feed link: podcast.rso.com/rss.xml.
Once you copy this feed address, paste it into your podcast software. The exact procedure will depend on your podcast software, but look for buttons or links that say "Add," "Subscribe," or in iTunes go to the "Advanced" tab and click "Subscribe to Podcast."
- 3. Listening to your podcasts
Your podcast software will automatically download new episodes as they become available. You can listen to episodes on your computer or transfer them to your portable media player (iPod or MP3/MP4 player) to listen to later.
