WHY DO I WANT TO GET PODCASTS?
No matter how much you love your radio shows, life sometimes gets in
the way of hearing them. Subscribing to your programs' podcasts means
every episode is automatically downloaded to your computer -- you'll never
miss a broadcast again! Put it on a portable MP3 player and you can listen
wherever it's convenient for you: in the car, in the yard, on the bike,
in the middle of the lake....
HOW CAN I LISTEN TO THEM?
You can hear them straight from your computer, or download
to a portable MP3 player. Many cell phones, digital cameras, and other
common electronic devices are becoming MP3 players, too.
WHY DO THOSE LINKS BY THE PODCASTS
GIVE ME AN ERROR MESSAGE?
The links are for your RSS reader to download your subcriptions. That
link needs to be copied and pasted into your RSS reader, such as iTunes
and Odeo. If you don't have an RSS program, download SPR's Pubcatcher
for PC
or Mac
to get started easily.
WHY DOESN'T KPBX PODCAST ITS MUSIC SHOWS?
A podcast is an on-demand download to your personal computer, which
in the recording industry's eyes is the same as distributing a copy of
the music. SPR can podcast music in public domain, performed by musicians
who have given their permission to distribute their recording. This is
why we can podcast much of the music performed from the KPBX studio,
but not much else. However, SPR is continuously working with resolving
these issues and hope, in future, to also be able to
podcast your favorite music programs.
ARE PODCASTS FREE?
We do not charge listeners for our podcasts, but there are costs to
Spokane Public Radio in production time. If you enjoy hearing SPR podcasts,
please become a
member of KPBX and KSFC. Public radio members make SPR programming
and subsequent podcasts possible.
