Just what is a podcast, you ask? Well, a podcast is basically like a radio show, consisting of a series of downloadable audio files. Contrary to popular belief, you do NOT need an iPod to listen to a podcast. All you need is a computer, which you obviously have if you're reading this!
To listen to an episode, just visit the website for the podcast at http://spiritofthewest.blogspot.com and click on the title of the entry and it should automatically start playing on your computer. Alternatively (and what makes a podcast a podcast), you can choose to subscribe to the podcast, so that every time a new episode is posted, it will be automatically downloaded to your computer, so you can then play it back whenever you like. To do this, you need a piece of free software called an aggregator. The most popular of these is iTunes, which can be downloaded and installed for free at:
Another good one is called Juice, and can be found at:
