Clearer Channel is presenting its information in Media RSS form

This is also called Video Podcasting [or Vodkasting as we like to know it]. It makes it easier to "subscribe" to the content here with an RSS reader program.

Our main feed of Videos in RSS format is linked to form the image below.

[Here is the link to the rss feed in full]
http://clearerchannel.org/video/video.rss

And if you look at the page of participating groups, You will see that their rss feed appears next to their details.

Rss is also great for syndication but that's another story.... to be continued...

Q: But What do I do with that?

A: To make this useful this you will need a program that can download and play the Media files. An example is Fireant http://fireant.tv for Video, Democracy Player http://www.getdemocracy.com/, or I-Tunes for Audio
or Juice (open source) http://juicereceiver.sourceforge.net for Audio or Video.

When you have install one of above programs you can subscribe to the channels.
