What is a Podcast?
A podcast is an audio show reminiscent of a radio broadcast that is either downloaded from a website or delivered via RSS (Real Simple Syndication) that feeds automatically to your desktop music application via an aggregator.

In line with Nortel's commitment to "Business Made Simple," podcasts are easy to access but importantly, they deliver down-to-earth business intelligence about the industry right to your desktop or *.mp3 enabled mobile device.

For every podcast, we strive for interesting topics with interesting speakers–the value for you is content that is concise and plain-spoken. We encourage you to listen in!
