Frequently asked questions
-
What is a podcast?
Podcasts are like magazine subscriptions. When you sign-up for a magazine (podcast) subscription, you know that a publisher (podcaster) is going to periodically send a magazine to your mailbox (computer). Now after a magazine is delivered, it sits in your mailbox until someone takes it out and puts it on the kitchen table (iTunes). You then decide when and where you want to read the magazine, and you always have the option to cancel your subscription at any time.

I click on the link and nothing happens. Why?
You need a podcatcher like iTunes to subscribe to a podcast. You'll also need an mp3 player like iTunes, Windows Media Player, WinAmp or RealPlayer to listen to the audio file.
-
Can I use a podcast reader other than iTunes?
Yes. You may use any podcast capable RSS reader. We just recommend iTunes. The link to the RSS feed is: http://westwoodhillsministries.org/rss.xml

Do I need an iPod to listen to the files?
No. Podcasts can be listened to on your computer or any mp3 player. However, the iPod integration with iTunes is superb.
