Ernst & Young Podcasts

What is a Podcast?

A podcast is an audio file that can be downloaded to your computer, so you can listen to it anytime: on your computer when you're not connected to the Internet, or on your portable music player as you work out, travel or commute to the office.

How do I get a podcast?

There are three steps involved in setting up your personal computer to receive podcasts.

1. Get some podcast software

You need to install a piece of software which will search the web to find the latest episode and automatically deliver it to your computer.

If you don't already have a "podcatcher", choose one below to get started.

(always read the set-up and help guides for new software)

2. Subcsribe to podcasts

Once you have the software installed you need to subscribe to some podcasts.

How you do this will vary depending on which software you have chosen. Here is a rough guide to how this might work:

If you have iTunes

You can subscribe to some podcasts through the iTunes Podcast Directory.

If you can't find the podcast that you want in iTunes then you can follow the same method as outlined below for Juice and other podcast software.

If you have Juice or other podcast software

If you have Juice, or another piece of software then this is likely to be the method you will need to follow. This is also the case if you can't find the podcast you want in iTunes.

In all of these cases you need to add the "feed" of the podcast to your software. The feed is really just the address of the podcast, which the software will go to each time it wants to check for a new episode.

You can find the feed for any Ernst & Young podcast by visiting the Podcast directory page.

You will need to copy this feed address and paste it into your podcast software. How you do this will depend on your software, but you should look out for buttons or links that say "Add" or "Subscribe".

3. Listen to the audio

When a new episode becomes available for the podcast you have subscribed to, your software will automatically download it. You can then listen to this episode on your pc or transfer it to your portable player to listen to later.

You may want to check the settings of your podcast software for details including how often it will check for new episodes, whether it will keep old episodes for you etc. This will vary depending on the software you have chosen, and your personal preferences.

If you decide that you no longer want to receive podcast episodes then it should be very easy to unsubscribe. Again, how you do this will depend on your software, but you should look for "Clear" or "Unsubscribe" options.
