AGGREGATORS RSS allows us to choose which kinds of subjects
we want to learn about via Internet articles. The same is true of a podcasting aggregator. You could think of a podcasting aggregator as RSPS, Real Simple Podcast Syndication.
The podcasting aggregator streams audio signals that you specify to your MP3 player, or computer.
Perhaps the most well-known example of a podcasting aggregator today is Apple's iTunes. This kind of podcasting aggregator is tied to Apple's online music store, although podcasts are free of charge. Other online examples of the podcasting aggregator include Podcast Alley and Podcast.net.

DOWNLOADS DON’T HAVE TO BE LIVE
The podcasting aggregator is built on the theory that downloads don't always have to be live. In other words, we can set up a podcasting aggregator to subscribe to podcasts and download new episodes whenever they become available.
Unlike radio, podcasts can be downloaded and listened to at our leisure. They are there when we're ready to listen to them, thanks to the podcasting aggregator.
