What is a Podcast?

What's a Podcast?

During our time of visiting with churches and friends in Canada, many people asked us about providing more ways to connect with the stories and lives of people benefiting from the ministry that we are a part of in Africa. In addition to the photos and short posts here on our blog, we have been experimenting with a regular audio update, or podcast. Each podcast is a five to ten minute recording that you can download off the Internet or listen to directly online. Through the podcast, we are able to share audio interviews, updates and prayer requests that you can listen to and share with others. If you visit our blog regularly, no doubt you've noticed a few "podcast" related posts over the past month. We hope this will be something that people will enjoy and feel free to share with others.

iTunes -- The Easiest Way to Listen

If you use iTunes on your computer, you can find us in the free podcast section in the iTunes Store where you can click on “subscribe” for automatic updates for your iPod or mp3player. Along with our podcast, you'll find thousands of great podcasters worth listening to.

You can also go directly to our podcasting webpage at www.fivekennys.podbean.com where you can listen, download, or subscribe to them. From time to time, we'll also put this link within blog posts for other people to find the podcasts.

We have also begun to post a video podcast that you can watch online, or download and share with others. The size of video podcasts are too large for us to host on our podbean site, so for now we are simply uploading them to a public dropbox site that you can access through links provided here on the blog. Hopefully we'll find a simpler way for people to subscribe to the video podcasts in the near future.

Please let us know if you have any questions about the podcasts or suggestions on particular topics or aspects of our ministry that you would be interested in learning more about. By clicking on the "comment button" and leaving a message, your question, suggestion or comment will be emailed directly to us.

For anyone listening to the podcasts on an iPod or iPhone, we are posting our recordings as an AAC file with embedded photos. As you listen through the podcast, you will be able to view photographs that follow along with the audio.
