Tonight, on the Assistive Technology Show, we introduce you to the ever growing world of podcasts. For those unaware, podcasts are audio programs that can be listened to on demand. Basically, you subscribe to programs of interest and with the help of some additional software, the programs are downloaded to your computer. You then have the ability to listen at your convenience, either on your computer, or on a portable audio device such as an MP3 player. Tonight, we’ll explore just what a podcast is, how you can go about finding podcasts of interest and what you’ll need to do in order to listen. There are literally thousands and thousands of podcasts out there on just about every topic, so no matter what your area of interest, there’s a podcast for you.

Podcasts not your thing? During each show, time is left for questions on all things assistive tech related and for other topics of interest. When? The Assistive Technology Show takes place Wednesday evenings between 7:00-9:00PM, EDT (2300-0100, UCT).
