A podcast is a file delivered via the Internet using a technology called RSS. Podcast episodes can be audio files, video files, documents, or any combination of the three. The New York Sun posts each episode and the Podcast feed to NYSun.com. You can download the files directly from NYSun.com or subscribe to the podcast using software on your computer like Apple’s iTunes, Microsoft’s Zune, or one of many other podcasting programs. All the Podcast Feed and will download the new episodes for you. With most podcasts, each episode will be in the similar file formats (.mp3, .m4v, .pdf, etc…), so as a subscriber, you can enjoy each program the same way every time.

You do not need an iPod or Apple’s iTunes to enjoy our podcasts. While you can load podcasts onto your iPod, you can also download them to any device that will play mp3s. There are many alternatives available to the iPod and iTunes.
