Free Podcasts on iTunes

Now that the iTunes Store is working on campus I thought I'd share a free resource.

Open iTunes and select iTunes Store

In the Search Bar (upper right) search for free podcasts. I searched for "free spanish podcast."

Click on Subscribe to the ones you want. They will download and then you can play them back by selecting them in Podcasts.

Podcast from your cellphone

While attending a workshop at TIES in St. Paul on Social Networking Technology I was introduced to Gcast, an exciting podcasting tool. It's your own audio broadcast and it's free and easy to use! You can record voice messages, add music if you want and share it with the world. What intrigued me was when the instructor whipped out his cellphone, dialed a number, recorded a message and 2 minutes later it was live on the internet. The possibilities are endless for recording notes, lectures, instructions, concerts, etc and putting them up on the internet almost instantly. Just go to Gcast.com for more information. Personal broadcasting is simple.

Technology really is cool...
