8.8 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
organizations that are providing content like this, more recently live recordings of university lectures, lan-
guage 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 NOXON you have easy, free
access to the podcast collection

—enormous, well sorted by origin and genre, constantly updated, and
completely independent of any computer or iPod!
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 par-
ticularly large, it can take some time for the en-
tire list to be loaded), “By Genre” leads to prese-
lection 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!
11) But a word to the wise: for technical reasons, the podcast collection can only be navigated in English at the mo-
ment. The contents themselves are available in any number of languages, though!
