Podcast Listening: Basic iTunes

If you're still using dial-up (how quaint!) for your internet, then it's probably best for you to forget about listening to podcasts.

Here are some basic instructions for iTunes:

When you subscribe to a podcast, iTunes downloads the most recent episode to your computer. On the iTunes screen, click once on "Podcasts" on the left; it's just below "Library". The podcasts you're subscribed to will show up in the large window.

To the left of each podcast is a gray triangle. If it's pointing to the right, click on it once and it will show the episodes for that podcast. To listen to an episode you have, double click on it. The episodes you don't have are gray, with a button that says "get". To the far right is a gray circle with an "i" in it. Click once on that to open a small window that shows the information for that particular episode. Read it and close the window by clicking once on the red "x" in the top right corner. If it's something you'd like to listen to, click the "get" button and iTunes will download it to your computer. Easy peasy!

If there's a blue dot on the left of the episode, that means you haven't listened to it yet.
