Podcasts are video broadcasts that can be viewed on your computer, iPod or other personal video devices. iTunes has a free download that helps you organize, browse, subcribe and share podcasts. There are also other podcast directories available on the Internet that you can find with Google or your favorite search engine. Below are a couple of podcasts and their web sites that I found interesting and an online podcast directory:
- GeekcastOnline – This podcast is hosted by Aaron Crocco and he provides how-to segments and the latest tech news available.
- Blogging, Podcasting and Vidcasting – This podcast is hosted by Sherman Hu and he simplyfies and demystifies technology with how-to’s and time-saving tips.
- Digital Podcast – This is a podcast directory that has a wealth of podcasts on a variety of topics. Caution: iTunes filters out inappropriate content where other sites may not. For example, one of the the categories listed on Digital Podcast is “erotica” and you may not want your child or student browsing that topic.

Podcasts aren’t just video. They are very often audio, but can also be PDF or any other digital file.

…you are correct. As a matter of fact, most of the podcasts I saw on Digital Podcast were audio. Thank you for your input.

Jacquelyn, thanks so much for not only mentioning The Geekcast, but also making it the first podcast in your list. As Nobilis stated above me, many podcasts are audo-only, including The Geekcast.
Thanks for posting about the show and if there is anything I can do, please let me know.
