Q What is it?
A A "Radio Show" all about Mountain Biking in OZ. For the general overview on what podcasts are check here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podcast
Q How do I listen to it?
A It's an MP3 so there are a couple of different ways.
-Stream it onto your computer just by clicking it. Not the best if you are on a slow connection as it can break up and stutter.
-Right click and save as. This downloads the file (an MP3) then you can click it. The advantage is there is no waiting break up as you have it all before you listen. You can also then listen to it at your leisure. You can also automate it so it downloads automatically. All computers come with software that play mp3 audio files. For Windows it's windows media player. Just make sure you have the sound switched on.
Q How do I automate the download?
A By automating it when each new show comes out it gets downloaded. It’s a good idea if you listen to different shows to do this.
Automate with Itunes
A- Go to the itunes store and using the search tool (top right of the screen) type “the mountain bike show” once you’ve found the show. Click on the Subscribe button (it’s free).
Or simply click this address: http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=262797299
Automate with a podcatcher?
If you don’t want to use iTunes then maybe something like Doppler: http://www.dopplerradio.net/?page_id=64
This is a podcast “aggregator” there are several others all free. You need to add this address so the program knows where to check for new episodes:

Q: What is with the music?
A: For legal reasons we need permission to use the music. It’s an MP3 after all so we can’t just give it to you without asking the artist permission. So if you want music, let us know of sources where we can use music for free. We’ll promote the artist on the show. At the moment the best source is http://iodapromonet.com
Q: I want to help the show, what can I do?
A: The easiest way is to continue to download and give us feedback. If you download on iTunes then leave a review as people browse through there. Also tell your mates.
Other ways you can help is to review a product for us. Tell us what you liked about it, what you didn’t, what you use it for, how much you’ve paid for it and similar products you’ve ridden. If you have a microphone on your computer then click this link. You can record up to 2 minutes.

Q: I don’ have an MP3 player on my computer:
A: Christ! Alright here is a free one:
www.apple.com/itunes/ (this has a podcast aggregator built in).
www.winamp.com/ this is good to run on older computers.
