Playlists and How You Can Get Them

I thought I had touched on this at one time or another but it bears repeating.

I don't have playlists for the podcasts published anywhere, for a simple reason:

I like them to be listened to with no pretense as to what might be coming up. Part of their charm is the surprises that they bear.

My policy has always been to send out a playlist to anyone who asks for one, ONCE THEY HAVE SWORN TO GOD THAT THEY HAVE LISTENED TO A PARTICULAR PODCAST !

So don't be shy. If you have heard something that you like and would like to know the song or the artist, just drop me a line dbx166@rcn.com and put "playlist for Podcast" in the subject line or something like that or leave a comment here.

I'll get back to you in quick order . . .

Podcasts Without an iPod

Thought I would repost this from a while ago . . .


Just want to clarify something here to everyone . . .


You do not need to have an iPod or iTunes to hear Podcasts. All you need is a computer and an internet connection.


If you go to my Podcast webpage

http://www.bestradioyouhaveneverheard.com

you can listen quite simply by clicking the links on the site or better yet, Control-Click (mac) or Right Click (windows) and download the whole show and play it back however you play any mp3 file. This is preferred as it will not rack up excessive bandwidth charges to me and you have it forever


To load the podcasts into your iTunes as a subscription go to the main podcast page

http://www.bestradioyouhaveneverheard.com/podcasts/

Once there, there is an orange One-Click for iTunes button. It works great.


You can also plug this into the Subscribe To Podcast under the Advanced pull down menu in the tool bar of iTunes (version 4.9 or higher) for a direct ride to my Podcast. It also works for all podcatching applications like iPodder or Juice.

No matter how you subscribe, it will automatically check for updates and download the new podcasts as soon as they become available. Just check at the beginning of the month and they will be there waiting for you. Might even find an archive show to surprise you now and again !

Once you’ve downloaded it (if you like) and you wanted to expand it to a .wav file for PC or an .aiff file for Mac, you can burn it directly to CD (where it will fit very neatly as they were originally produced for CD) or do just about anything you might do with a mp3 file.
