I have no idea what a podcast is or how to get one. [with extra special thanks to <a href="http://serialpodcast.org/">SERIAL podcast</a> for these excellent instructions] Think of a podcast as a radio show you can get on the internet, so you can listen any time you want. You have two options: you can listen through a website (this is called streaming). Or, you can download a podcast, which means you’re saving it on your phone, or tablet, or computer, and you can listen to it anytime, even without an internet connection. To Stream: Go to a website, like <a href="http://www.bigthink.com/thinkagain">www.bigthink.com/thinkagain</a>, and click the play button. To Download: Get it delivered to your phone or tablet each week using an app. For iPhones and iPads, use the <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/podcasts/id525463029">Podcasts</a> app. You get it from the App Store (it actually comes installed on newer devices). In the Podcasts app you search for Think Again and then hit subscribe. For Android phones and tablets, try the <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.stitcher.app">Stitcher</a> app. Get that from Google Play. In Stitcher, search for Think Again and click the plus sign (+), to add it to your Favorites List. Now go to the Favorites List. Tell it to download new episodes by clicking the gear in the upper right corner. Have fun! — About Think Again – A Big Think Podcast: If you’ve got 10 minutes with Einstein, what do you talk about?
