What is Podcasting?
You can download a sound file, called an MP3 - something
like a little radio show - our 'Menocast'. You can listen to it
on your computer or using an MP3 player like the one pictured.
We thought it would be a good idea to have items you could listen to while doing
the gardening, stuck in a traffic jam, on the train - anywhere!
MP3 players are relatively inexpensive and make great gifts. Why not treat yourself?
