If you have a podcast or regular show that you would like included in our guide, please send information about it to our audio desk.
Podcasts differ from traditional internet audio in two important ways. In the past, listeners have had to either tune in to web radio on a schedule, or they have had to actively download individual files from webpages.
Podcasts are more flexible and much easier to get. They can be listened to at any time because a copy is on the listener's computer or portable music player, and they are automatically delivered to subscribers, so no active downloading is required. More information...
These tools save you the time and effort of having to return to each podcast web site and check for new episodes.
This is the general method that most of the software tools follow.
