The Media Momentum News Podcast FAQ

What is a podcast?
The distribution of audio or video files, such as radio programs or music videos, over the Internet. It's on-demand information or entertainment.

Why call it a podcast?
It's a mixture of two words: "iPod" (Apple's portable mp3 player) and "broadcasting". But they are not just available on iPods. You can use any mp3 player.

What do I need to be able to listen to a podcast straight away?
To listen to the podcast straight away from your computer, you can use the Flash Player. Just remember to turn your volume up.

What is an enhanced podcast?
This is a format which allows you to view images and links while you listen to the podcast. This file type is only compatible with iTunes, Video-capable iPods and Quicktime.

What do I need to be able to download a podcast?
We would suggest that you subscribe to the podcast or listen to the podcast with the Flash Player. Downloading can take some time as the file size is large. To download the podcast, just click the link indicated. Once downloaded, the file is then able to be transferred to a portable player or played on your computer in the normal way.

Is there any cost?
No, it's free.

Experiencing any problems?
It is likely that the problem will be with the podcasting application, so first look at the relevant Help section. You could then delete the podcast feed and re-subscribe to the service. If that doesn't work, then you could try installing another podcasting application.

I can't hear anything on my computer.
You will need to have a media player on your computer eg. Windows Media Player, Real Player or iTunes. Ensure your volume is turned up and that any speakers or headphones are properly connected.

I have a Mac.
The subscription and Flash Player options are still applicable and recommended. As mentioned above, we would discourage downloading. However, this can be done by holding down the Control key on your keyboard and clicking on the mp3 link. There is a menu of options. One of these options will be "Download link to disk" or "Download Linked File". You can then save to the folder you choose.
