Podcasting :: TAC Tech Tips
What is podcasting?
Podcasting a way of publishing sound files to the internet. A podcast is a type of RSS feed that allows the transfer of multimedia files. A podcast is similar to subscribing to a newsfeed. Instead of articles being pushed, it is in the form of audio.
TAC provides a weekly podcast called TAC Tech Tips. This podcast will come in the form of a video (known as a vodcast) or audio file.
What do I need?
You need software that acts as a podcatcher. When people think of podcasting, they immediately think of iPods. However an iPod is not required. iTunes is one of the most popular podcatchers. Below are listed the most commonly used podcatcher.
Subscribe with iTunes
Subscribe with a web-based podcatcher

How do I receive podcasts?
Add the following address to your podcatcher:

Your podcatcher will then automatically check our site for updates every time you run it.
