Listening to the TechByter Worldwide Podcast
Each week's program is packaged as a podcast no later than Sunday morning and often by early Saturday afternoon. The programs are typically 20 to 25 minutes long—longer if there's a lot to say about a topic and shorter if there isn't. Unlike radio, there isn't a specific amount of time that must be filled, so I cover what needs to be covered and then I shut up.
The easiest way to listen to the podcast is with Itunes (see below) because you can subscribe (there is no charge) from the Itunes store. If you prefer not to use Itunes, you have two other options:
- Each week's podcast is posted in a streaming audio format on the program's Web page.
- You may subscribe to the podcast as an RSS feed and use any standard RSS aggregator that is capable of playing audio.
Another option, although the audio quality isn't quite a good, is to use the website's streaming audio function. The most recent program will always be here and podcasts for older programs are streamed from near the bottom of the program's page. New programs are usually available by 9am on the program date.
Finding Free Podcasts on Itunes
You can subscribe to the TechByter Worldwide feed direct from the source (each website page has an RSS link near the top) or you can use Itunes to get it. Because TechByter Worldwide is (belatedly) introducing some of our readers to podcasts, I thought it might be a good idea to put together a little illustrated summary that shows how to find and hear podcasts on Itunes.
It's a quick and easy process. Click any of the small images for a larger view.
Using Itunes, visit the Itunes Store and select Podcasts from the drop-down menu. Type blinn in the search box and press Enter.
You'll see a list of several items, one of which is Technology Corner. Click either of the right-pointing gray arrows and you'll be taken to the main Technology Corner page on Itunes. Or you can just click Subscribe from this page.
If you visit the main page, you can subscribe here and read a bit about the program.
Once you've subscribed to a podcast, new editions will automatically show up in your list of podcasts.

The author's image: It's that photo over at the right. This explains why TechByter Worldwide was never on television, doesn't it?
Feed the kitty: That's one of them on the left. Creating the information for each week's TechByter requires many hours of unpaid work. If you find the information helpful, please consider a contribution. (Think "NPR".) If the Amazon Honor System graphic disappears (which it does occasionally) and you still want to make a contribution, this link should work. Thanks!
