New Delhi: If you are a technophobe who hates handling gadgets then loosen up because technology can be fun, if you use it right.

For example, podcasting lets you record and transmit video and audio files over the Internet. And all you need is an iPod to do that.

To podcast is to download directly to a digital audio player for later listening. So no matter what the programme, you can download it where and when you want.

So, here are some technical details that can come handy while podcasting.

Just connect your portable device to a computer, log on to a podcasting subscription service and take your pick. And viola, your choice is pushed from the original source to your iPOD or MP3 player.

All it needs is an internal connection, a computer and a digital audio or video player.

And that’s not all, part of the appeal of podcasting is the ease with which audio content can be created, distributed and downloaded from the web.
