Using a Directory of Podcast Videos

While some video feeds can be found by visiting thesite that hosts them, many more are easier found byvisiting a directory of podcast videos. These podcastvideo directories maintain listings of podcasts that havebeen submitted to them. They may sort the listaccording to region, category, and popularity, helpingvisitors find exactly the type of feed they are lookingfor. Tech video podcasts can be found, with regularepisodes about technology news. Some video feeds areexperimental podcasts, created by designers interestedin showcasing their work and trying out new forms ofediting and storytelling. There are some feeds thatrecreate talk and comedy shows, with interviews everyepisode.

A directory of podcast videos can help anyone find newand interesting podcasts to subscribe to, and it can alsohelp podcasters advertise their feeds. Rather thanrelying on word of mouth advertising and peoplestumbling onto the feed, a directory makes it easier forlisteners to find the feed. Directories play the role thatearly search engines did, maintaining a list of arelatively small group of net addresses that otherwisewould not be found.

After looking through a directory of podcast videos andfinding a feed that is appealing, it can be subscribed toby using a podcast client. A podcast client is a computerprogram that checks the RSS file that stores theinformation about the feed and downloads the videofiles that the video podcast links to. The file can then bewatched by the user on their computer whenever and asmany times as they wish.
