There are a myriad of free podcasts offered by NPR. Below are some of our favorites right now. Check back often as we feature new and different NPR podcasts.
A podcast is a Web based feed of audio files that is available for subscription, usually for free. The subscription nature of a podcast enables you to automatically receive new audio content when it's available. That distinguishes it from a download or from our live stream.
When you subscribe to GLT, NPR or other podcast, your podcast software program, like iTunes for instance, automatically downlads the latest episode to your computer as an mp3 file. Exactly when it does this depends upon how you configure your podcast program's settings. Once you have the mp3 file, you can listen to it anytime, even when you're not online. You can also synch your iPod or other portable mp3 player with your desk top computer and then listen anywhere. Software such as iTunes allows you to subscribe to and manage your podcasts, as well as transfer the files to your portable mp3 player.
When using your podcasting software, you may be prompted to enter a url -- or web address -- that ends with .xml. You can find .xml files for GLT podcasts above.
