听 Podcasts

Since the legalisation in France of podcasting ("baladodiffusion" for the purist) in January this year, Radio France has far outpaced the BBC in terms of the range of programmes it makes available. You'll find links through to all the major RF stations and the podcasts they offer at:

听

Legally, podcasts are made available until the next episode of a programme is broadcast. While many radio programmes remain accessible for a long period over the internet, the advantage of the podcast (MP3 file) is that it can be downloaded and listened to without an active internet connection, for example when you're travelling to work, walking the dog, cooking or whatever. All you need is an MP3 player and freely available software (typically iTunes, Doppler, Juice) to download the podcasts. You then drag and drop them to your MP3 player, unless of course you simply want to listen on your own computer (Windows Media Player is also an MP3 player). It couldn't be easier, and it's a terrific resource. France Culture, in particular, offers some of its best programmes in this way.听
