iTunes is one of the most used programs on my computer. On the left side of the iTunes program gives links to Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, iTunes U (which features radio stations and podcasts from various colleges and universities) and Radio. I decided to research what made up a podcast. I found out podcasts are more like radio shows without callers. Podcasts can be made up of just about any subject you can dream. iTunes users have the opportunity to subscribe to a wide variety of free podcasts as well as buy a subscription to a podcast that updates regularly.
As an avid watcher of Fox News I decided to listen to a Fox News podcast as one of my first podcasts. It was a five minute podcast in regards to the recent health care debate. Regardless of your politics, the health care debate is a topic that affects everyone. Congressman Eric Canter was interviewed stating a bullet was shot through his window at his Virginia office in hopes of him changing his position on the health care bill.
This podcast was entitled "Latest 5 Minute Newscast" featured on Fox News Radio. It was uploaded on March 25th, 2010. It can be found when searching Fox News Radio on the iTunes podcast channel.
Although I listened to an audio podcast, podcasts can also be found with video. I decided to listen to the podcast thinking it would be similar to the radio but I found myself annoyed listening to "talk radio". I much prefer watching podcasts because I am a visual learner. Because I found interests in the various podcasts, I can see myself utilizing this free and helpful opportunity found on iTunes.
