Podcasts have taken the world by storm. These audio or video presentations are meant to be downloaded and enjoyed by people from around the world. Podcasts are different from commercial productions because anyone can create a podcast, and podcasts are almost always free.
Podcasts cover a wide range of subjects from the lighthearted and silly to serious news or scholarly presentations. You can find podcasts about parenting, cooking, religion, politics, technology, and much more.
Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine uses a podcast each month to feature a story from the magazine. Some podcasters use their shows to teach their listeners a new language.
People use a piece of software called a podcatcher to automatically download new episodes of their favorite podcasts. Then they can listen to the podcasts on their computer, phone, or tablet. Most podcasts come in mp3 or m4a formats.
Until recently, most podcatchers for the PC and Mac were clunky and complicated to use with a screen reader. Blind users could make them work, but it took more time and effort than most people wanted to spend. iTunes is probably the most widely used podcatcher, and the iTunes interface under Windows is particularly cumbersome to use.
