If your system does not meet <strong>the</strong>se requirements, you can find podcasts and read<br />

<strong>the</strong> text transcript but you cannot play <strong>the</strong>m. Video podcasts can be downloaded and<br />

played later or opened and played using a multimedia player such as Windows<br />

Media Player or Apple Quicktime. Podzinger supports <strong>the</strong> following video formats:<br />

mp4, mov, m4v, flv, mpg, or mpeg.<br />

Odeo has been around since 2004 and now boasts over a million audio files, mostly<br />

podcasts from all over <strong>the</strong> world. It offers both a search and browse option. Users<br />

can ei<strong>the</strong>r download <strong>the</strong> file or listen to it in a neat little player at <strong>the</strong> Odeo site.<br />

There is an option to create an account so that you can subscribe to feeds and save<br />

<strong>the</strong>m at Odeo, but an account is not necessary. The search and categorization<br />

scheme is based upon tags, simple keywords or categories.<br />

Podcast.net<br />

Podcast.net has more search options than most podcast search engines. Users can<br />

search by title & description, keyword, location, host, or episodes. I think <strong>the</strong> location<br />

search is <strong>the</strong> most useful because you can locate podcasts around <strong>the</strong> world.<br />

Podscope<br />

Like Podzinger, Podscope transcribes audio from podcasts into searchable text. This<br />

means you can search on words and phrases that occur in <strong>the</strong> podcast; however, I<br />

found that Podscope's search is not entirely reliable (<strong>the</strong> search misses some words<br />

that have been transcribed). None<strong>the</strong>less, it is a valuable podcast search site.<br />

Podcasts play at <strong>the</strong> site using Flash 8+: simply click on <strong>the</strong> green play button<br />
