Podcasts

What are podcasts?

Podcasts are groups media bound together with one file, which then links to the relevant files individually. If you have a podcast capable audio or video media player (such as iTunes), you can subscribe to these feeds and have your client automatically download the files for you.

Which podcast should I subscribe to?

We offer only audio podcasts for the International Science School lectures. They are available in two different formats (MP3 and OGG - see below for more information).
