What is a Podcast?
A podcast is an audio recording distributed through the Internet. You can listen to podcasts on your computer or a digital audio player such as an iPod. Subscribing to our podcast allows MSFHR content, including speeches given by our award recipients, to be delivered to your desktop.

How do I listen to a Podcast?
Get a Podcatcher
In order to subscribe to and receive podcasts, you must have a podcatcher. When a new episode becomes available for the podcast you have subscribed to, your podcatcher will automatically download it. There are many podcatchers available for free. Some podcatchers are desktop applications you download and install on your computer. Others are web-based, which allow you to access your podcasts from any computer. The following is a small sample of podcatchers:
