Just a quick reminder to our readers who enjoy listening to The GrassCast, our weekly audio podcast, that you can use Apple’s popular iTunes software to subscribe to the podcast. The use of the word subscribe may confuse some folks, as it suggests the likelihood of a fee - but there is no charge to subscribe to The GrassCast, and doing so could save you some time and trouble.

What subscribing means in this context is that you elect to have our weekly podcast monitored by the iTunes software, and each time you open iTunes while connected to the Internet, it will check to see if any editions of The GrassCast are available, and not yet downloaded. If so, it will download them into iTunes in the background, ready for you to listen when it is convenient for you. You will find them in the iTunes podcast directory.

If you also use an Apple iPod, you can identify The GrassCast to be updated when you connect your iPod to your computer, meaning that you won’t need to check for new editions of the podcast. If you enjoy our interviews each week, use iTunes and the iPod to make sure that each new edition of The GrassCast is there waiting for you when it is released.
