Here are some of the podcast I have found relating to secular and free thought programming. Looking forward to other recommendations from the group.
Podcast relating solely to skepticism can be found HERE
What is a podcast?
A podcast is a series of audio or video digital-media files which is distributed over the Internet by syndicated download. Basically, they are “shows” that are updated somewhat frequently. Users typically update only the most recently episodes for playback later on their computers or iPods. Subjects can range from a large range of topics and interest.
While there is a great deal of content from mainstream outlets (CNN does a hourly news recap), most of the content is from small groups, organizations or even individuals. This can be both a strength and weakness with the medium.
How do I subscribe to a podcast?
Podcast are available through Web feeds, to portable media players and personal computers. Though the same content may also be made available by direct download or streaming, a podcast is distinguished from other digital-media formats by its ability to be syndicated, subscribed to, and downloaded automatically when new content is added.
Many podcast are available at the iTunes store via iTunes. Best of all, they are all free!
