What Do I Need to Listen to a Podcast?
Here's what you'll need: a computer (PC or Mac), an Internet connection, and (free) podcasting software. We recommend iTunes.
Do Podcasts Cost Anything?
No. WNYC does not charge, and has no plans to charge for our podcasts or other On Demand audio programming.
Why Doesn't WNYC Offer Podcasts of Music Programming?
WNYC is permitted to broadcast music on our radio stations and in our live Internet streams, but copyright laws do not allow us to offer downloads of programs that feature complete pieces of music. We do offer select segments of "Soundcheck," our daily music talk show, as podcasts.
