Welcome to the Icicle podcasts...
Podcasts are simply free downloadable audio files, and you can listen to them on your computer or on an MP3 player such as an iPod. Topics range from training to the choice of equipment, and from advice for particular mountains to what boots to use. You can choose to download any specific podcasts that you would like, or if you would like to listen to any new podcast releases, then you can subscribe to get future podcasts using the iTunes or RSS buttons to the right. If you would like to learn more about our RSS, click here.

Podcasts are automatically sent to your computer and loaded onto your iPod or MP3 device. They are discreet (not streaming) files, so listen on a web page, computer, or iPod / MP3 player / phone.
You can listen to podcasts during your morning commute, at the gym or even sneekily whilst at work. The key advantage is the portability and flexibility for you, to listen where and when you want.
