Podcast FAQ

What is podcasting?
Podcasting is a method of automatically distributing audio and video content over the Internet. The word ‘podcasting’ is a mix of the words ‘iPod’ (Apple’s popular portable mp3 player) and ‘broadcasting.’

Do I need an iPod to download and listen to a podcast?
No. To download a podcast, you only need a computer with an Internet connection and podcast software (which you’ll need to install). Apple’s iTunes is one such program that is popular for downloading and listening to podcasts.  Refer to the links below to find lists of other podcast software suppliers. To listen to podcast content, you’ll need an mp3 player or any computer with audio-playing software.

Does it cost anything?
Nope.  Crossbridge Christian Church podcasts are absolutely free.  After you’ve installed your podcast software, click on the CB-PODCAST link above, then click the “SUBSCRIBE” tab that is directly right of the Crossbridge logo, and you’ll be ready to download the messages, free of charge.

So, I’ve subscribed to the podcast, but I am getting an error message. What’s going on?
You should refer to the Help section in your podcasting application. You may also want to delete the podcast feed and re-subscribe.  Check out the following links for more info:
