Spectacle Entertainments of Ancient Rome

Podcasts are free audio or video files available on the Internet for you to listen to and/or watch on your computer or on your iPod, iPad, or other hand held device. A podcast can also refer to a series of these audio or video files (similar to how a TV or radio "show" can be a series of shows or just one show). When using the word "podcast", most people refer to the entire series and not just one audio or video file. Lately, universities have begun offering their courses via podcasts.

 

Here's an entire semester of lectures from UCLA (University of California in Los Angeles) on Roman entertainment:

 

These lectures require the RealOne player from RealNetworks or a podcast client like iTunes.

If anyone's interested in that one (why would they not be?), can I also recommend:

Thanks, G of C!

Yes. Some of the podcasts are available outside iTunes. That gives people who don't have the iTunes browser an alternate access point.
