Radio France Podcasts!
January 4th, 2006
Finally, Radio France has got its act together and now releases many podcasts on its programs.
Podcasts are available for practically all of the Radio France stations (France Inter, Culture, Bleu etc).
This is great news for me as I love to listen to the French chronics on my iPod but until now, that has meant recording the ‘listen again’ stream to hard disk and then transferring it which involved much organisation and bother! Now, iTunes does all the work for me and downloads the latest edition of a chronic in MP3 format.
I have already put about 10 podcasts on and look forward to listening to them on the way to school tomorrow!
The link for the main podcast page is here:
If you are using iTunes, find the podcast you want on the website then simply click “installer dans iTunes”.
If this does not work, click “voir le lien RSS” and copy the link displayed. Go to iTunes, click on the advanced menu, click subscribe to podcasts and paste the podcast in. Now make sure that the podcasts are downloaded onto your iPod (you do this through iPod options, Podcasts)
If you use a podcast/news aggregator then here is an independant link to an xml file that contains all the podcasts currently available. This xml file does not seem to work with iTunes.
Thanks to Mag-Zine for providing the xml file!
Enjoy the listening
