Did you miss one of our events? Do you live too far away to attend? Are you a
professor who wants your class to listen to Nobel laureates speaking on issues
of world peace and global social justice? No problem. Audio recordings of
the Council's events are now available through Really Simple
Syndication (RSS) and as a podcast in the Apple iTunes Music
Store. Both sources are free and include the same selections of our best recent events.
RSS is a system by which we send out a feed of information to let you know
when new audio recordings are available. In order to connect to our feed you
will have to use a newsreader program, which allows you to view the details of
each new release and download the related audio if so desired. An example of a
newsreader program that you can download to your computer for free is Awasu.
Apple’s iTunes software also
allows you to connect to our feed and receive audio on either an Apple or a
Microsoft computer. In the iTunes Music Store you can find us by searching for
Carnegie Council Podcast in the podcast section. The word “podcast” is
a combination of “iPod” and “broadcast” and refers to a wide range of media
content transmitted over the Internet—from New York Times opinion columns to
aspiring disc jockeys crafting homemade radio shows in their apartments.
Though iTunes is a convenient way to receive this kind of media content,
neither the term “podcast” nor use of iTunes implies that you must own Apple’s
iPod portable media player. Once downloaded, our audio recordings can be played
directly on your computer or transferred to any other device that reads computer
audio (Carnegie Council events are in MP3 format).
When you find our podcast in the iTunes Music Store simply click “Subscribe”
and the program will automatically check for and download new episodes. You can
manage this feature in the Preferences section.
We hope you will enjoy and take advantage of this new feature as we strive to
make our content available to the world through as many new avenues as possible.
Please contact the podcast manager if you have any questions or problems
accessing the Carnegie Council's audio: podcast@cceia.org.
