Podcasting 101
How do I listen and subscribe to podcasts?
There are many options. I am recommending that you first subscribe to my Podcast through email.
* Subscribe via email alerts
This is the simplest way to subscribe to a podcast. GCcast enables listeners to subscribe for email alerts and whenever
a podcast channel is updated, you'll automatically receive email with links to download the new audio file(s).
There are some other ways to subscribe though:
* Click & play on the web
If your web browser is enabled with Flash, you can listen to podcasts embedded in web pages (such as the one on the
Gcast home page). This is enabled by Gcast's embeddable player technology, which allows anybody to embed a podcast in any web
page.
* Download MP3 files
Many podcast channels are also available as individual MP3 files which you can download to your computer and listen on
your media player of choice.
* Subscribe via iTunes for automatic downloads
If you have iTunes (version 4.9 or later), you can use it to subscribe to any podcast channel, and all past, present,
and future audio files in that channel will be automatically downloaded to your computer (and to your iPod, when you connect
it). To do this, simply select the "Subscribe to Podcast" option from the "Advanced" menu in iTunes.
* Subscribe for automatic downloads if you don't have iTunes
If you don't have iTunes, there are plenty of other software products that will work with your media player of choice.
Each of these products allows you to subscribe to podcast channels, and audio files will be automatically downloaded and
added to your media library. The most popular software seems to be iPodder. Here's a list of other podcasting software.
* Subscribe via MyYahoo or MyMSN
If you have a MyYahoo or MyMSN account, you can easily add any podcast channel to that account. The podcast channel
will simply appear as a new module, and each new "post" will appear as a new "headline" on your personalized page.

What is the biggest issue or issues in this campaign?
Do you vote according to party? The individual candidate? Whether you think the candidate will win or not? Based on issues that you feel strong about?
What party, if any, do you identify with?
Do you consider yourself politically a green? liberal? conservative, libertarian?
Thank them for their time and for helping you with your research.
Then, post your impressions of your interviewees, how many you interviewed, their demographics, their party and/or political affiliation, frequency of voting, etc., on
your "youthnoise" blog.
