One of the reasons why I did not write in my blog for the past two or three days is because I was delving deeper and deeper into the world of Podcasts and RSS feeds. These two words were Greek and Latin to me earlier…but not anymore… I can call myself a Podcaster and RSS feed buff.
The first word is a portmanteau word like – infotainment (information and entertainment). The word is a combination of – I pod and Broadcast. They were originally designed for Apple Ipods and later on were made available for mass consumption.
The next word means Really Simple Syndication which is a kind of update that is made available from a website. For example Times of India website gives you the option of subscribing to its RSS feeds on a regular basis.
The kind of subjects that are available in Podcasts will leave you baffled and wonder struck. Almost all the leading media houses own a podcast directory. BBC, Newyork Times, and CNN have wonderful topics in their podcast archive. Other prominent podcast directories can be subscribed from NGC, Discovery, NASA, and M TV.

The best part of the whole thing is that most of these podcasts are free of cost..
So if you are listening – get I tunes software downloaded from the Apple website and enter the world of Podcasts.
