How are the podcasts different from the audio archives?
1. When you get a podcast, you download the audio file to your computer. You do not have to be connected to the Internet to listen to the file. This allows you to transfer it to a portable audio player and listen whenever and wherever you like. In contrast, when you listen to a file in our audio archives, you are playing the file from our server. You do not actually download the file. This means that you have to be connected to the Internet when you want to listen to the file, and you cannot transfer it to a portable audio player. 2. Podcasts use a protocol called RSS that allows you to “subscribe” to a particular program, so that you can receive new installments automatically. In contrast, you have to visit our site each time you want to find a new installment in our audio archives.
