General information
Each listing contains a podcast title, post date, description and podcast feed information:
In all of the directory listings, clicking the play symbol will automatically open and play the podcast in out "podcast player". The podcast player uses QuickTime to play the podcasts and will automatically resize depending on whether an audio, enhanced or video podcast has been selected.
Depending on the speed of your Internet connection, you will discover that the audio and enhanced podcasts will load and start to play much quicker than a video podcast (or vodcast).
The podcast player has basic controls that allow you to stop start and adjust the play position and will also indicate the format used to create the selected podcast - such as MP3, M4A, M4B, M4V, MP4 and MOV.
