Simon Hughes is podcasting

By Will 4 years ago, at the start of March Add your comment below

Aside from his own Podcast, Rick Eyre mentions a couple of others: The Cover Drive and The Telegraph’s Simon Hughes. I like Hughes; he’s a really excellent writer, and his podcasts could be quite entertaining. I’m completely unconvinced about Podcasts…who has the time to listen to them all? Not I. I have an Ipod, but the whole “getting it on there” thing has me a bit confused. It’s not easy, and I’m not very clever. So until some genius makes it a simple case of plugging it in, leaving it for a minute, and unplugging then I can’t be naffed.

I’ll try Hughes’ out though…good on The Telegraph for being bold enough to try out a new technology, though.

    Simon Hughes’ is only 6 minutes long – doesn’t really take up too much of one’s precious time. Today’s sounds like he’s sitting next to a pneumatic drill though!

    Getting podcasts onto iPods is easy peasy! Just press the little iPod logo at the bottom of the iTunes window…

    But doesn’t that sync all the other files as well? And where does it “put it” on the ipod?

    Shouldn’t do, if you have your prefs set up right. I’ll mail you direct about it. It will put it in the ‘Music’ directory (on mine that’s the first one at the top). Inside this the 5th directory down is called ‘Podcasts’. Unsurprisingly, this is where they get put. Then you can just listen to them like normal music tracks.

    like a podcast? wannit on the ipod?

    Use a podcast program, which basically acts as the podcast (which is basically an MP3 file) downloader. You can also specify where you want the podcast to save the file. either a folder on your hard drive or even a folder on your ipod.

    Recommended podcast program is the ipodder now called ‘Juice’ [if ipod is the apple, this be the 'juice'!](although the icon reflects a lime!!)

    I’ll try both of those, thanks chaps. I need a laptop (STILL) and a cable, which I’ve lost, for my ipod. But will try it when I find it!
