button and it will take you to FCNL's podcast in the iTunes Podcast Directory.
If iTunes is not your preferred podcasting tool, click on feed reader , highlight the URL (http://www.fcnl.org/audio/podcasts/RSS.xml) in the in the address bar and then paste the address into your podcasting software. In iTunes you can find this option under the "Advanced" menu as "Subscribe to podcast." You can also find our podcast by searching in the iTunes Podcast Directory.
What do I need to hear a podcast?
The first thing you need is podcast subscription software. Your options include Apple's iTunes (which has the software built in), or other services such as Odeo or iPodder, to manage your podcast subscriptions. At this point, you will already be able to listen to podcast audio from your computer (provided your computer has a sound card and can play MP3 audio files). If you want to make your podcasts portable, you will need to transfer them from your computer to a portable media device.
