8.6 Podcast & Radio-On-Demand function
Short introduction—podcasts and RadioOnDemand
Radio On Demand in English is normally used as a synonym for podcasting. Thus for example, popular
shows from a daily radio program are formatted and made available online so that they can be called up
any time as podcasts—even large and well-known radio stations do this. As a listener, you are no longer
tied to the set broadcast times of conventional radio programs, you can access the contents made available
in this way whenever you want. That's why it's called "Radio On Demand". The variety of these contents is
vast, and growing by the day. Possibly even an interesting alternative to classic radio: and it's not only
broadcast organisations that are providing content like this, more recently live recordings of university
lectures, language courses, comedy programs or just plain simple audio journals have been added to the
offering. There's something for just about any desire. And the best of it is: with your iRadio you have easy,
free access to the podcast collection

—enormous, well sorted by origin and genre, constantly updated,
and completely independent of any computer!
The podcast menu
The podcast function hides modestly in the Main
menu... Press the Right button to select.
Podcasts are mostly voice contents, so you can
preselect a country of origin first...
"All Shows" displays all the available podcasts
from the selected country (if the selection is
particularly large, it can take some time for the
entire list to be loaded), "By Genre" leads to
preselection by topic.
Presorting by genre: All podcasts of the corre-
sponding selection are listed.
Then just select the podcast you want and finally
search for the individual episode you want from
the list that appears … and you're in business!
2) But a word to the wise: for technical reasons, the podcast collection can only be navigated in English at the moment.
The contents themselves are available in any number of languages, though!
