Podcasts
A "podcast" is audio or video content distributed on the Internet in episodes that have a consistent format. (The word originally came from combining "iPod" and "broadcast.") Audio podcasts from ICANN play in any MP3 player (using Windows Media Player, Quicktime, iTunes, etc). You can listen to individual episodes by selecting an episode and clicking its title to download it. You can subscribe to our podcasts via RSS feed. If you subscribe using iTunes, each new episode we publish will automatically download to your computer and play in iTunes whenever you want. After you have downloaded an episode, it stays on your device, which means you can listen to it even when you don't have an Internet connection.
