The Ill Crate

What’s the best way to listen to the Ill Crate? Well, you could just click on the link to the latest episode and listen to it directly on your computer.

But to experience the true power of podcasting, you’ll need podcast-receiving software that will let you subscribe to the Ill Crate; that way you’ll always have the latest episode downloaded to your MP3 player and ready to take with you. It’s like TiVo® for radio. Except it’s not really radio, it’s the Web. And it’s free.

If you use Apple’s iTunes, you’re already good to go, because it has podcast support built in. Otherwise, you can download add-on software such as iPodder (which works on Macintosh, Windows, Linux, and other operating systems, and also supports a variety of digital audio players).

Okay, I’ve got iTunes, iPodder, or another podcast receiver. Now what?

To subscribe to the Ill Crate’s podcast, you’ll need to give your podcast receiver the URI of the Ill Crate’s podcasting feed:

http://illcrate.com/cat/podcasts/feed

The exact way you do this will vary depending on which software you use. RTFM!

If you’re using iTunes, there’s a very helpful step-by-step page by Infopeople about iTunes and podcast subscription.

Where can I find out more about podcasts and podcasting?

One place to start is iPodder.org. But we’ll keep looking for more.
