Podcasting


What is a podcast?

Podcasting lets you automatically receive Aberdeen's latest fund manager updates as soon as they are published. If you would rather not subscribe to RSS feeds or do not have the software to do so, you can download a specific podcast individually.

What is RSS?

Really Simple Syndication (RSS) allows you to see when new podcasts have been added to the Aberdeen website. You can receive the latest entries into your desktop or browser, as soon as they are published, without having to visit the Aberdeen website.

To start receiving content feeds, you will need an RSS reader which is a piece of software that checks these feeds and lets you download any new podcasts that have been added.

Browser-based news readers (for example: Internet Explorer 7, Mozilla firefox, Safari) lets you receive RSS feeds from any computer, whereas downloadable applications (for example: Newsgater, My Yahoo!, Google Reader, Microsoft Live) lets you receive and store the feeds on your computer.
