Downloading Episodes

I've had a few emails asking how to download episodes to listen to on a computer, mp3 player, ipod, phone etc. If you have an iphone read this bit of news.

Generally the simplest way to download episodes of Philosophy Bites is via iTunes. If you have a Mac you probably have this pre-loaded (you can click here to open the relevant link - it will start up your iTunes application). If you have a PC you might be able to get episodes from our site by 'right clicking', but iTunes is a free download and much more straightforward. If you don't want to use iTunes then you can try www.philosophybites.libsyn.com

Once you have iTunes, find us by searching or looking in 'Podcasts' then 'Society and Culture' and if you don't see us there, look in the subsection of 'Society and Culture' called 'Philosophy'. Click on the duck-rabbit icon. Click on 'Subscribe' if you want the episodes automatically as they come out. Or click on 'Get' alongside individual episodes that you want to download.

If you don't want to use iTunes, Juice (which is a free download) is a good alternative that allows you to subscribe to and download episodes of podcasts. Our podcast feed is http://philosophybites.libsyn.com/rss

Best wishes,

Nigel

Some weeks ago I came across a comment somewhere to the effect that it doesn't take a PhD in philosophy to understand that pornography is bad. Yet, here on Philosophy Bites I find that behaviours that I would never consider, such as cannibalism, are given consideration, as if it does take advanced training to decide whether they are indeed reprehensible.

Would you consider asking an authority to address the topic of pornography, please?

A good way to download episodes (for any podcast in fact) is to add the RSS feed for the podcast to Google reader (reader.google.com). You can save off each MP3.
