Join Fr. Innocent, Fr. Angelus and Fr. Mark-Mary, members of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal, for their weekly podcast. The Poco a Poco Podcast offers “Practical Spirituality.” The friars break open the Gospel in light of their years of prayer, communal life, and work with the poor.
The Poco A Poco Podcast is a source of rest, encouragement, refreshment, and renewal for all pilgrims helping them to discern and make the next best step. Poco a Poco, little by little, step by step we’re making our pilgrimage to the Father’s house.
The Franciscan Friars of the Renewal are a Catholic religious order founded in the South Bronx, NY. You can learn more about the friars or subscribe to their mailing list at www.franciscanfriars.com

Simpler than you think
[/ultimate_heading][vc_column_text]Podcasts are everywhere now. People and businesses are constantly launching and creating podcasts, listening to new podcasts, and talking about podcasts. But, you may be wondering, with all this talk of podcasts, “what even is a podcast?” Not to worry, we will break down the nuts and bolts of all that you need to know about podcasts below.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]It is important to note that podcasts are generally free to listen to.A podcast is a series of on-demand audio files (there are video ones as well) that often focus on a particular topic or theme. Podcasts can be accessed via a computer, tablet, or smart phone, Google Home, Apple HomePod and downloaded so that they can be listened to at any time. Listeners can be automatically updated of new episodes in a podcast by subscribing to their chosen podcast from within their podcast catcher.
The term podcast is actually a portmanteau of iPod and Broadcast. The “pod” of podcast is borrowed from Apple’s “iPod” digital media player, while the “cast” portion of podcast is taken from the radio term “broadcast.”[/vc_column_text][ultimate_heading main_heading=”How to Listen” heading_tag=”h3″ spacer=”line_only” spacer_position=”bottom” line_height=”1″ line_color=”#e91e63″ main_heading_margin=”margin-top:15px;margin-bottom:15px;” spacer_margin=”margin-top:15px;margin-bottom:15px;”] [/ultimate_heading][vc_column_text]Computer
