Technical Questions
Q: What’s the difference between a podcast and an online radio show?
A:
An Internet Radio Show is simply an audio program that
you listen to on the internet whereas a Podcast is an audio program that is delivered via an RSS (Really Simple Syndication)
Feed.
Q: So, which are you?
A: Technically, we are
both. You can listen online while you are checking email or
surfing the web or you can download the show to listen at your
convenience.
Q: How do I listen to the show if
I download it?
A: First, go to
http://themomcast.com/category/mom-writers-talk-radio/ to
get the MP3.
Then you have three choices.
You can simply double click on the broadcast after you save it. This will open
it in your default music player (usually Windows Media Player).
You can save it to your MP3 player and listen wherever you choose.
You can use an RSS feeder to pick up the feed.
Q: When I click on “Listen Now” nothing happens.
A: If you have a pop-up blocker, hold down the Ctrl key or disable the pop-up blocker
to allow the window to open.
Q: I don’t have an RSS reader. What can I do?
A: You don’t need one to listen to the broadcasts, but if you want one (they can also be used to
follow your favorite blogs), we recommend the free RSS Reader available from
http://www.EnterprisingMom.com. Just download the Reader and
then follow the instructions given to add new feeds. It's easy
and once you have it set up, it will automatically download our
new shows for you every week. You can play the audios right in
the Enterprising Moms Reader or open them in your favorite media
player.
To transfer our audio files to your MP3 player, please follow your manufacturer's instructions.
Q: I already have an RSS reader –
I just need your feed address.
A:
Our Podcast Feed is available at
http://feeds.feedburner.com/momwriters
It is also available at iTunes. 
Q: What are the minimum
system requirements to listen to internet radio?
A:
Minimum System Requirements to listen to internet radio: 90 MHz or
faster Intel Pentium processor (or equivalent CPU), Windows 95,
Windows 98, or Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 3 32 MB RAM, 30

65,000-color or better video display card, 28.8Kbps or faster

listen.
