OPML information and our OPML files

On this page you can subscribe to a combination of podcast channels that we have selected for inclusion in out podcast directory for educators.

The information about the podcast feeds is contained in an Outline Processor Markup Language (OPML) file. Many RSS readers provide the facility to import OPML files and are able to download the feeds automatically. This makes it quick and easy to incorporate the podcast feeds listed in this directory into a RSS reader that supports the importing of OPML files. The beauty is that you can then edit this list to reflect your own preferences.

You can now download the following OPML files:
