I keep seeing this term on some of the news I subscribe to and thought I would finally ask something about it. It appears to be subscribed media - something like Itunes - except I'm seeing the term as free offers from Christian Providers, including the American Family Association.
I rarely ever get anything but text, docs, and PDFs because of the large size of other media and the software required to view them.
Ok - question one: Is a podcast like a mini-video?
Two: Is there a simple Firefox add-on that works good enough for podcasts?
I thought about trying podcasts, but I thought it would be wise to ask some questions first. As it turns out, many outstanding Christian Providers offer podcasts. I don't really want to install any complicated software, especially something that would increase the risk of virus or other problems. Can anyone help me with some recommendations please?
THANKS IN ADVANCE!
I haven't played with podcasts as i have dial-up, but I believe that you could record a sermon, for instance, and put it up on your church website - then people could download it and listen to it. They can be put onto Ipods and MP3 players for listening, hence the name "podcast". I don't believe video is commonly used. Maybe someone else can give you a better explanation.
