Article: [senco-forum] Audiobooks (was: of Reading Ages)

For those who have asked about easy access to podcasts
(without the need for an iPod) which include a range of
audiobooks and spoken programmes on every subject you can
imagine, there are two main sources I use regularly.

One is to download the free and very excellent iTunes. This
runs on both Macs AND Windoze. iTunes contains a service for
subsribing (free) to podcasts so your puter automatically
downloads the latest programme when it becomes available.
You can then listen to it on your computer through iTunes or
load it into your iPod if you are lucky enough to own one. I
highly recommend the Ricky Gervais podcasts though they will
cost you (very very cheap for what you get) However most
podcasts are free.

http://www.apple.com/uk/itunes/

The other source I use is Podcast Net which allows you to
stream a podcast within your web browser requiring no
additional software (you need the quicktime plugin though
which you probably already have)

http://www.podcast.net/

Hope this helps

Mark
