Subscribe to our archive podcast feed

Podcasts are audio broadcasts created and stored digitally on the Internet. Instead of being broadcast once during our live web events, our podcasts are created to be stored and played at your convenience, similar to a VCR or DVR playing back a pre-recorded TV show. Unlike our streaming audio archives, podcasting completely transfers the entire audio file to your computer before it is played. Therefore, podcast programs do not require an internet connection to play audio files. Podcasting also provides a way to subscribe to these broadcasts as they are created and have them automatically delivered to your computer. These files can then be easily transferred to other devices such as portable digital audio players.

You may subscribe to our podcast feed using podcatching software (also called aggregator software) which periodically checks for and downloads new content. If you wish, it can then synchronize these audio files to your portable digital audio player. Podcasting does not require an iPod; any portable digital audio player or computer with the appropriate software can play podcasts.

The basic requirements for podcasting are a computer, podcasting software, and an Internet connection (the higher the speed, the better). To take your podcast with you, a portable digital audio player is also needed. Below is a step by step guide:

  1. Install podcast software
    You first must install podcasting software to manage your subscriptions. A list of software applications is available on podcastingnews.com.

  2. Add our feed address to your software

    http://www.clu-in.org/live/archive.xml

    If you are using iTunes as your podcast application, you may subsctibe directly using the link below:
    Subscribe using Apple® iTunes®

  3. Download
    When a new archived Internet Seminar becomes available, your software will automatically download it, and will continue to automatically download future archives as soon as they are available.

  4. Listen
    After your download is complete, you can listen to the MP3 file on your computer or transfer it to your portable digital audio player to listen to later.



For additional information on podcasting, please visit one of the numerous sites that provide more detailed information on the subject, such as Wikipedia. We welcome any feedback you may have on this new service.
