Hey guys, we were emailing our cousin Violet, and suddenly the word "podcasting" came up, so I got inspired, once again. If you still haven't started with the the podcast subscribing experience, we encourage you to do so right way!
Are podcast overrated??
Not at all! Here's why:
1) It's free. You know you gotta want it! I mean, seriously, who doesn't like free.
2) High quality podcasts. It is definitely available, but there's some really unpopular ones, those you should probably stay away from, because there might be a reason as to why people are not interested in listening.
3) Easy to use. *(Pictures for aesthetic purposes). I know you can read. I don't want to step on any toes and offend anyone with my doodles. Sorry could NOT upload signature didi work, but this came close. My doodles were corrupt or so "blogger" says.
4) Quick & easy downloads. You get to choose which episodes you want. If you don't like them, you can delete them from your download option list.
5) Professional educational material. You get all sorts of types of podcasts, whether it be in video or in audio format (there's even PDF format), the content is praise worthy (if you find the good ones). You can get languages courses (favorite! highly recommended), fun history facts, sex education, religious feed, really cool music, politics, news, comedy, and just overall worthy entertainment. Reading the reviews other listeners and viewers write can be key to judging podcasts without having to subscribe first.
6) Works better with ipod. I know it sounds so obvious, but I've owned miumiu ipod for almost 3 years, but I wasn't really interested in podcasts, until I actually knew what they were. How lame... But last year, I read about them on a Japanese language learning blog. We had to have them. We pulled a "I'm kinda bored, let's see if we can get anything free from this site". Tuh duh! It worked!
7) You won't regret it. Ok, now, if you happen to think it's a waste of your memory space, then just delete it, and next time don't read my posts. *feelings got hurt T__T
We kid.
*It's not really necessary to subscribe through iTunes Store, you can easily do the same thing if you find a web site that podcasts. Don't be fooled though, there are some that come for free, others you would have to pay for According to my friend, they attempted to rip her off by charging her for something that, technically should be GRATIS. I'm not sure if it's the same for Windows users, but I believe it should.
Feedback is highly appreciated.
Thanks, Didi, the D in D&E.

you should describe what a podcast is, bc most people don't even know what they are!
Thank you for the feedback Javier!, but if #5 wasn't clear enough, we looked it up on wikipedia, since Apple Dictionary didn't have any description for it, how ironic, huh?
So, here's a more detailed and clear definition as to what podcasts should be:
"A podcast is a series of audio or video digital media files which is distributed over the Internet by syndicated download, through Web feeds, to portable media players and personal computers.
... Like the term broadcast, podcast can refer either to the series of content itself or to the method by which it is syndicated; the latter is also called podcasting. The host or author of a podcast is often called a podcaster."
We hoped that helped to clear your doubt.
