About podcasts

What is a podcast?
A podcast refers to an audio file that you can download to your computer. You can then listen to the podcast whenever you want, as many times as you want, from your computer or your media player.

How do I listen to a podcast?
First, download the file to your computer. To listen to a podcast, you will need software. There are some options, depending on your preference: To take the podcast with you, just transfer it to your portable media player of choice.

I can't hear anything. What's wrong?
Make sure that the software you are using is installed and set up correctly. Also, ensure that the podcast has downloaded completely. Since the files are large, it may take some time to download, depending on your connection speed.

Why can't I subscribe to AIGA podcasts?
At the moment, AIGA podcasts are stand-alone files and not part of a regularly published schedule. Our series, What Design Sounds Like, is intended to be a regular program. At that time, we may offer a subscription service at no cost, of course.

Will AIGA be offering any more podcasts?
All the main-stage presentations from the 2005 AIGA Design Conference will be available via podcast, as well as several back-stage interviews. Other types of dialog, such as interviews and essays, will also be appearing on the website over the next few months.
