Podcasting is the web equivalent of an audio magazine subscription. Audio files are made available online by anyone on any topic. You can download them for listening on your computer, burn them onto a CD for listening in the car or upload them to an MP3 player to enjoy when you're walking the dog, spinning or knitting.

KnitCast is a podcast about knitting. The site includes all the information you'll need about how to receive and utilise the audio files.

A good free program is Juice, it's available for recent versions of Windows, Macintosh and Linux. iTunes is also now capable of downloading podcasts.

It's worth noting that if you plan on getting into podcasts, the files can be quite large, so you'll need a broadband internet connection and enough hard drive space to download your files.
