<title>What is a Podcast?</title>
29
<p>Podcasts are recorded programs, similar to radio programs, that are available on the internet and allow you to subscribe. When you subscribe to a podcast in Banshee, each time a new program is released, Banshee will automatically download the podcast and allow you to listen to it.</p>
31
<p>There are podcasts on almost any subject including music, movies, Linux, and more. Search the internet using your favourite search engine with a search term such as "movie podcast" and you will be presented with many options to choose from.</p>

<p>To add a Podcast to Banshee you will first need to visit the podcast's home page on the internet in your browser. Almost all podcasts will have a button or link displayed to subscribe to the podcast. Copy the link to the podcast's subscription. In most web browsers, you can right click on the link and choose <gui>Copy link</gui>.</p>

<p>In Banshee, press and choose <gui>Subscribe to Podcasts</gui> in the upper right hand corner, from the menu choose <guiseq><gui>Media</gui><gui> Subscribe to Podcast</gui></guiseq> or use the keyboard shortcut <keyseq><key>Shift</key><key>Control</key><key>F</key></keyseq>.</p>
