Introducing the FBC Podcast
As a ministry to those that are
technology-savvy, Fort Madison First Baptist Church now offers the
FBC Podcast. It's a free broadcast that we've created in order
to share the life-changing sermons our local congregation have the
opportunity to hear live.
Not familiar with podcasting? For
starters, it's NOT just for iPods...
Even though the term "podcasting"
invokes images of those fancy MP3 players from Apple, podcasts can
be used on ANY MP3 player - or any computer, for that matter. Here are
a few starter's tips:
(1)
Download and install
Juice. Developed to be
a cross-platform podcast client, Juice is small, easy to set up and use,
and FREE! Of course, there are dozens of other software
applications that do essentially the same thing. If you have
iTunes or another application, feel free to use it - we're now listed in
the Podcast Directory on iTunes!
(2) Set up Juice to download the
FBC Podcast.
On the Subscriptions tab, click on the "Add new feed" icon (green
circle with white "plus sign"). Enter the following URL in that
field (you can copy and paste for ease):
http://www.fortmadisonfirstbaptist.org/podcasts/podcasts.xml
(3) Transfer the file to your MP3
player. Most MP3 players show up as a Removable Drive in My
Computer. Simply drag the individual podcasts or the entire folder
to the icon representing your player. You can find the files in My
Documents, under FBC Podcast (or whatever you wish) in the My Received Podcasts folder.
