An introduction to the Podcast Directory
A podcast directory
is simply a site on the internet on which
you can upload, view and even download podcasts.
Most of the podcast directories let you do
all the three tasks without charging you a
single penny. Some excellent podcast directories
are Podcastdirectory.com, Podcast.net, Podcasts.Yahoo.com.
You can do quite a number of things on a podcast
directory. When you visit a podcast directory
you will see different categories under which
the podcasts are posted. For example, there
are main categories such as Art, Blog, Business,
Education, Sex. etc. There are sub categories
as well under the main categories to make
your search easier. For example, the business
category will have sub categories such as
economy, agriculture, careers, etc.
Hence you can browse podcasts on the podcast
directory by going to the different categories.
You can even search for podcasts by entering
the relevant details in the search box. You
can even search for podcasts based on certain
criteria such as date, buzz, popularity, country,
author name, city, region and language. Hence
a good podcast directory is the one that not
only hosts thousands of podcasts but makes
searching for podcasts very easy.
Most of the podcast directories let you add
your own podcasts. Today creation of a podcast
file has become extremely easy with softwares
like Audacity that are available freely on
the internet. Once you have made your file
you should change it to MP3 format as most
of the podcast directories accept files only
in MP3 format. Hence if you don’t submit
your file in MP3 format the other users might
not be able to access the file as they may
not have the necessary software to play the
particular file. You can also edit and remove
your podcast in case you don’t want
others to see it on the internet any further.
So we see how a podcast directory proves to
be the best resource for finding podcasts
no matter on what subject they are. From computers
to sex to art and craft you can find it all
in the podcast directory. And best of all
it is completely free. The files that you
find in the directory are not large and hence
they can be downloaded in minutes on your
computer. Hence users who have a broadband
connection won’t have any problem at
all. You can even opt for streaming podcasts
wherein you can see the podcast online without
downloading them to your computer.
