Podcasting Envoy Productions Programs
What is a podcast?
Podcasts, also known as RSS ("Really Simple Syndication")
feeds, are a new method for distributing audio, video, and text
files in a convenient fashion. Rather than regularly visiting a
Web site to download new files, podcast software is used to schedule
these visits, identify any new files that are available, and automatically
download them to a computer.
The only requirements are a computer, a podcast software application,
and an Internet connection. Although the term podcast is
related to Apple's iPod device, an iPod (or any other digital music
player) is not required to receive a podcast file.
How do I obtain podcast software?
Podcast software, also known as an RSS reader, is needed to access
and hear podcasts. Many of these applications are available free
of charge (such as FeedReader,
iPodder,
or My
Yahoo!). A variety of podcast software types and features are
available, so select the software that best suits your needs. Envoy
Productions does not endorse a particular podcast software application.
To download and install the free FeedReader software, click
here.

What are the terms of use for Envoy Production podcasts?
Envoy Productions offers its podcast subscriptions free of charge
for non-commercial use and for commercial use where Envoy Productions
has provided direct permission. Envoy Productions reserves the right
to change its podcast files at any time or cease offering podcasts
entirely. Envoy Productions reserves the right to require individuals
to cease their use of any or all of its podcasts for any reason

its files or for any podcast software and is not liable for the
use of these.
Please note that subscribing and unsubscribing to podcasts lie
solely in the hands of the individual recipient. As a result, Envoy
Productions is not able to control your subscription. Questions
regarding technical difficulties and how to subscribe / unsubscribe
should be directed to your podcast software provider.
