What is a collection of podcasts, and how and why should I create one?

collectionYou can collect podcasts in your own directory/collection just like we’ve collected them on our home page (left). That way you can log in to our site and immediately have the podcasts you want to listen to and watch.

When you first log in, you will find a list of Recommended Podcasts for your listening and viewing pleasure. But don’t stop there — use the search box to type in your favorite hobby or subject, find a podcast in the list, and click on the subscribe button in the middle of the page. The podcast will load into your podcast collection on the right side of the page, noted by this icon: rss2.gif.

You can use the edit button to open your collection and drag the podcasts and folders into the order you want them. You can also add a link to any Web page when you open your collection with this button.

If you want to delete a podcast you’ve already subscribed to, use the edit button to open your collection, highlight the podcast you no longer want, and then click delete at the bottom of the window.

And once you have a few podcasts in your collection, you can click on the newest icon below your collection to see the most recently updated podcasts from just your collection.

You can also add folders from

  • other members
  • channels

To add a member’s collection to yours, go to any other member’s page (find other members at my.podcast.com) and click on the add button below their collection — OR below any folder in their collection. That will create a link from your collection to that member’s entire collection or just one folder in that member’s collection.  You can do the same on any channel page, such as eco.podcast.com, by clicking the addbutton.
