It is hard to bookmark interesting section, to scan quickly through content and to skip back and forward. <\/li>\n<li class=\"liConcord liLevel3\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\">Alternatively audio provides extra information, the sound of voices. Audio can also be consumed while doing other things, driving, washing the dishes walking the dog etc.  <\/li>\n<li class=\"liConcord liLevel3\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\">We have had many wonderful folk send us audio and a tremendous lineup of guests on our live show.

The audio should be played via html5 players when possible falling back to flash. You can also download the audio using the links provided.<\/li>\n<li class=\"liConcord liLevel3\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\">Listening on the site or downloading individual audio files is fine for casual listening but there are other ways to get the content with less effort and while you are away from your computer..<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"pConcord\"><b>By subscribing to the podcast feed<\/b><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ulConcord\">\n<li class=\"liConcord liLevel3\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\">The podcast has an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.edutalk.info\/feed\/\">RSS Feed<\/a>. This allows folk to &#8216;subscribe&#8217; to the podcast with podcatcher software. This software will automatically check the feed and download new audio that appears on the site automatically. Most podcatcher can be configured to discard older audio files and can organise the audio in different ways.   <\/li>\n<li class=\"liConcord liLevel3\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/List_of_podcatchers\">List of podcatchers &#8211; Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"liConcord liLevel3\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\">On a Computer<\/li>\n<ul class=\"ulConcord\">\n<li class=\"liConcord liLevel5\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/lifehacker.com\/5465842\/five-best-podcast-managers\">Five Best Podcast Managers<\/a> Lifehacker<\/li>\n<li class=\"liConcord liLevel5\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\">The best known podcatcher is probably iTunes. iTunes runs on mac and windows pcs. You can subscribe in iTunes simply by clicking on the <a href=\"http:\/\/johnjohnston.infoitpc:\/\/www.edutalk.info\/feed\/\">Subscribe to Edutalk with iTunes<\/a> on the sidebar of the Edutalk site.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<li class=\"liConcord liLevel3\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\">Mobile<\/li>\n<ul class=\"ulConcord\">\n<li class=\"liConcord liLevel5\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\">Having podcasts on a mobile device is very useful. It means you can listen to podcasts as you travel. Personally I listen t opodcasts while comuting. <\/li>\n<li class=\"liConcord liLevel5\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\">If you use iTunes you can sync your podcasts to an ipod or iphone.<\/li>\n<li class=\"liConcord liLevel5\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\">There are also apps which will sync podcasts directly over wifi. Apple provide the podcast app for free. I use Instacast 2, <a href=\"http:\/\/vemedio.com\/products\/instacast3\">version 3 is now avaliable.<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"liConcord liLevel5\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\">Another popular iOS app is downcast.<\/li>\n<li class=\"liConcord liLevel5\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\">On the android front <a href=\"http:\/\/forums.androidcentral.com\/android-applications\/263348-best-podcast-app.html\">here are some suggestions<\/a>. I&#8217;d love to have some recommendations from folk I know.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"pConcord\"><b>Listening to the radio stream<\/b><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ulConcord\">\n<li class=\"liConcord liLevel3\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\">You can also listen to the stream of Radio EDUtalk in a whole variety of ways.
