What is a Podcast?

Wikipedia defines a podcast as a digital media file, or a series of such files, that is distributed over the Internet using syndication feeds, for playback on portable media players and personal computers.

The Awakened Heart Project offers free podcasts which are available for immediate listening, download or subscription.

Listen now within your browser

To listen to a talk within your browser click the grey play button (it can be found beneath the podcast’s title and description).

Your browser will immediately begin to play the audio clip while loading the file into your browser’s temporary memory (the light-green progress indicator will show how much of the file your browser has loaded). You can pause and resume playback whenever you’d like, however once you leave the page your listening progress will be lost.

Listen later using iTunes

Beneath the grey play button you will find several links. Click ‘Browse via iTunes’ and iTunes will launch, displaying the Awakened Heart Project’s page in the iTunes store. (All AHP podcasts are available for free on the iTunes store.)
