Podcasts

What are Podcasts?

Podcasts are audio files that are automatically delivered directly to your desktop computer, and can be transferred to your iPod or other MP3 player.  You typically subscribe to podcasts using "podcatcher" software.  We recommend iTunes.

How much does it cost?

Nothing!

Must I have an iPod or similar MP3 player?

No.  While many podcast users do listen on their portable MP3 players, you can always enjoy podcasts straight from your PC.

What audio format does Palomar College Use?

Academic Technology podcasts are available in .mp3 format, and will work with virtually any audio player software or portable MP3 player such as the Apple iPod, Creative Zen, ScanDisk Sansa, Zune, etc.  In addition, we also offer streamed versions of our podcasts.

How do I "subscribe" to the ATRC podcast?

If you are a user of iTunes, simply click the appropriate button below for one-click subscription (it's really more like 2 or 3 clicks, but it is simple).

 

Do I need permission to reuse your podcasts, or any part of them?

Yes.  They are copyrighted material, and you must obtain permission before using them, except as covered by "Fair Use" or the TEACH Act of 2002.  Contact Palomar College Academic Technology for information.
