Listening to podcasts
Podcasts are informative and entertaining shows that focus on a specific topic, such as business marketing. Each episode typically involves one or more hosts talking for a fixed amount of time. Listeners can download one or more episodes of a podcast and listen to them at their convenience.
Most podcasts are recorded in a studio, but some are live podcasts that are recorded in front of a live audience. Another variation of podcasts is podcast novels, which are similar to audiobooks.
The main difference is that podcast novels can range from a single narrator reading a book to a group of voice actors combining sound effects to create an audio performance. Podcast novels are often a way for novelists to distribute their work, even if their novel hasn't been printed by a publisher.
No matter what type of podcast you want to hear, the basic steps to playing podcasts are as follows:
- Find a podcast to listen to.
- Download one or more episodes...
