FAQ
The basic requirements for podcasting are a computer, podcasting software and a high-speed Internet connection. To take your podcast with you, an iPod or any MP3 player is also needed.

When I click on the link, I get a page full of code.
Podcasts use a type of code called XML. Some XML can be displayed in a web browser, but not podcasting. You must use the URL with your desired podcasting software.

How do I see all the past episodes of your podcasts?
Once you susbcribe to a podcast the most recent episode will be downloaded to your computer. However, since podcasting is a subscription service, all of the past episodes will be available for download. You will need to manually download these.

I am using iTunes and all I see is the most recent episode, how do I see the old ones?
There is an arrow next to the podcast, which is pointing to the right. If you click on that arrow, the arrow will rotate so it is pointing down, and all the past episodes will be displayed.
