Podcasts are a convenient way to gain new ideas and perspectives on a wide range of topics. There is a wide range of free podcasts developed by Australian Catholics, including reflections for families, youth, exploring Catholic teaching and homilies, prayers and reflections. 

For people unfamiliar with podcasts it is just like listening to your favourite radio show when and where you want. You can listen to a podcast on a computer, phone or tablet, or any device that has an internet connection. You can link your device up to headphones, home sound system or car speakers. You can stream a podcast, that is, listen to it straight from the internet, or, to save mobile internet charges, you may download the podcast onto your device. 

A recent article in the Bridge produced by the National Centre for Evangelisation, Australia provides an overview of  Australian Catholic podcasts.
