FAQ'S

All you need to know about Podcasting.
What is a Podcast?
A podcast is a downloadable radio or tv-style show in a single digital file. This file can be listened to or viewed on a computer or any device that will play an audio or video file, such as an iPod (hence the podcast).

I don’t own an iPod, can I still listen to BALTIC Soundbites?
Yes – You can listen to the mp3 files on any kind of digital audio player or desktop audio application such as Windows Media Player or iTunes, both of which are free.

What about watching BALTIC Bites?
If your iPod or media device is not capable of playing video (or you dont own one!) you can still watch the video podcasts directly using iTunes or on any media player software that is capable of playing MP4 files, such as Quicktime, which is free.
