The Poetcast is the official podcast of the Academy of American Poets. Podcasts are like online radio shows, except that you don’t have to tune in at a given time. Instead, users “subscribe” to podcasts through software like iTunes, and episodes download directly onto your computer as they are released, hassle-free and free of charge. You can learn more about podcasts here.
You can listen to podcasts at your leisure, or, with portable devices like iPods or iPhones, take them with you on the go. Click on the link below to hear sample Poetcasts, and see a range of subscription options.
