What is Podcasting?
Podcasting, a portmanteau of Apple's "iPod" and "broadcasting", is a method of publishing files to the Internet, allowing users to subscribe to a feed and receive new "episodes" automatically by subscription, usually at no cost. It first became popular in late 2004, used largely for audio files.
More information about Podcasting is available at Wikipedia.
Trinity Chapel makes its Sunday sermons freely available online in three ways:
- Directly playing through the Flash player located in a sermon series page
- Downloading the audio file from the relevant sermon series page
- Podcast subscriptions
What do I need to subscribe to the podcast?
The first thing you need is a podcast client, which monitors the podcast subscription and downloads the latest podcast 'episode' or in our case the latest sermon. Here are two very popular podcast clients:
- iTunes - Apple's free music player can subscribe, play, and transfer podcasts to your MP3 player (compatible with Windows and MacOS)
- Juice - A free open-source podcast client. Juice will subscribe to a podcast and download them for you to listen with you favorite media player or to transfer later to your MP3 player (compatible with Windows, MacOS X, and Linux)
Where's the feed?
Every podcast has syndication feed that your podcast client subscribes to and monitors. Here is the feed for the Sunday sermons.
If you are using iTunes, you can click the following link to automatically subscribe to the podcast.
For all other podcast clients copy and paste the following URL in to your client.
