Church of the Brethren Webcast Series

Subscribing to this webcast series signs you up for receiving new webcast releases automatically. This is done through software on your own computer, e.g., Microsoft’s Live Bookmarks, Apple’s iTunes, Google Reader, or others. Our link supplies the information necessary for your computer to know where to go to get updates.

Of course, there is no need whatsoever to subscribe. You may continue to return to this site to hear or obtain our bi-weekly “broadcasts.” However, subscription gives you the benefit of having new content gathered for you automatically, for free.

For those of you used to subscribing to news feeds from the internet, this process is virtually the same. A desktop news or web aggregator works by you choosing to subscribe to a set of feeds, so that new information flows to you each time it is updated. You can then can easily view the new stuff from all of the feeds together, or each feed separately. Webcast subscriptions work the same way, with one exception. Instead of reading the new content, you listen to the new content, whether on your computer, or with an iPod or other portable mp3 player. There are a growing number of programs available this way, including traditional radio shows like Talk of the Nation and Rush Limbaugh. The format used is RSS 2.0 with enclosures.
