#58 - Yunus Emre - 27 Jun 2006

0:09:43

Yunus Emre - "True speech is the fruit of not speaking" - with commentary by Ivan M. Granger. With this song, Yunus Emre gives us a sharply teasing reminder that even if we follow all of the rules of our religious tradition, that's not the same thing as achieving saintliness or holiness.

#57 - Akka Mahadevi - 05 Jun 2006

0:08:32

Akka Mahadevi - "You are the forest" - with commentary by Ivan M. Granger. I really like the image of God (in this case, Shiva) as a forest, as every tree in the forest, and simultaneously as the myriad of animals "playing in and out / of all the trees".

#56 - Mary Oliver - 15May 2006

0:04:49

Mary Oliver - "Sunrise" - with commentary by Ivan M. Granger. Another way to enter fire today from Mary Oliver...

#54 - Hakim Sanai - 26 Apr 2006

0:08:52

Hakim Sanai - "Belief brings me close to You" - with commentary by Ivan M. Granger. Belief, devout religious practice will bring you close, but only so far... (And Ivan gets a little creative with his audio editing.)

What is a Podcast and How Does it Work?

What is a Podcast?

A podcast is basically a radio program made available over the Internet. You can manually download the audio file or sign up for a free subscription where your computer automatically downloads the audio file every time a new program is available. You can then listen to the program on your computer or iPod.

How does a Podcast work?

All you need to do is:

Step 1: Get a Podcast program or an RSS reader
Step 2: 'Subscribe' to the Poetry Chaikhana Daily Poem Podcast.
And then let your computer automatically download each new podcast. That's it!

Step 1:

Get a Podcast Program

Podcast Programs

Several Podcast programs are available for free, including:

iTunes - - Free Win/Mac
iPodder (and iPodderX) - Free Win/Mac
BlogMatrix Jäger - Free Win/Mac

RSS Readers and Podcast Subscriptions

Most RSS readers (sometimes called "aggregators") also can handle podcast subscriptions. Popular ones include:

RSS Reader - Free Win
FeedDemon - $29.95 Win
NetNewsWire - $24.95 (30 day free trial) Mac
AmphetaDesk - Free Win/Mac

Step 2:

Subscribe to the Podcast

Subscribing with iTunes and Other Podcast Programs

Copy the text field below (or right-click on the image and copy the link):

Daily Poem Podcast

Then switch to your podcast program, select the 'subscribe' button or menu item (in iTunes, it is under the 'Advanced' menu), and paste that text into the appropriate field.

That's it! You're now subscribed. Just let your podcast program automatically download the daily poem podcast each time a new one is posted.

Note: If you accidentally left-click on the logo, you'll be taken to a page of unformatted text and code. Ignore that and just click the Back button on your browser.
