What is a podcast?
A podcast is essentially a radio show that’s delivered directly to you over the Internet. What’s great about podcasts is that, unlike radio, you can listen to your favorite shows whenever you want. Instead of tuning in live, you can use computer programs or mobile apps to ‘subscribe’ to the shows you love (such as the JPost Podcast). The program automatically detects when a new episode comes out and downloads it, meaning you can listen to it whenever you’re ready.Why should I be obsessed with podcasts?
