As the name would suggest, a podcast is an audio program distributed over the web. Podcasts were originally created to be listened to on an mp3 player, like an iPod, but you don’t need anything more than a computer to listen to podcasts. Some sound a lot like talk radio programs; others, like ours, are more focused on playing music, or distributing other sound content. What makes podcasts unique, and really convenient, is a technology called RSS (Really Simple Syndication), which allows you to subscribe once and automatically get updates delivered straight to your computer, and even right onto your iPod or other portable music player. Find out more about podcasts on Wikipedia.
You can easily download any program that sounds interesting to you just by clicking on the title. To subscribe, and receive updates automatically, you’ll need to download software that can read and interpret our RSS feed, sometimes called a “Podcatcher”. There are many free options for both Mac and PC; check out this list and pick one that works for you.
If you already have iTunes on your Mac or PC, you can use our one-click subscription to add our podcast to your library automatically. If that’s not working, you can find detailed, easy-to-follow directions on Apple’s support website for manually adding the subscription. You can also find us in Apple’s podcast directory, and subscribe with one click from there.
We’re primarily an art institution, and unfortunately we don’t have a technical support team for our podcast. Apple supplies technical support for subscribing to podcasts with iTunes on Macs and PCs. Other software providers, such as those listed above, may also supply technical support for users of their products.
The music files contained in our podcasts are given to you under a Creative Commons license which allows you to share these podcasts with friends, family, colleagues, and anyone you think may enjoy hearing music from the Gardner. By downloading the music, you agree to attribute any music you share to the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. You may not use the music for commercial purposes or modify it and you must keep intact all copyright notices for it. Find out more about Creative Commons here.
How you attribute the music depends on what you do with the podcast. If you share the podcast with others by distributing copies, file-sharing, webcasting, and the like, you must, at a minimum, identify the podcast as licensed by the “ Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Boston.” If you are posting the podcast on a non-commercial website, blog, etc., you must include the text “the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Boston” and provide a hyperlink back to the Concert page of our website where the original podcast was located. All users must keep the copyright notices and technical identification information in the podcast files intact. See Creative Commons for more information.
