What is RSS?

RSS feeds contain headlines, summaries, and links for the latest articles, papers, and media files published on a website, such as LD.org. Currently, you can subscribe to LD.org’s free monthly podcast on policy issues related to education and learning disabilities. In the future we will offer more feeds for our articles and other content.

What is a podcast?

A podcast is a type of RSS feed that offers audio files (typically in mp3 format). Once you subscribe to a podcast, using either a web-based reader (like NetVibes) or software (like iTunes), whenever a new audio file is ready, it will automatically be downloaded for you to listen to. If you use software like iTunes, you can then download podcasts to listen to on a portable player, like an iPod.
