Audio is a great way to connect with your audience. By recording a simple file and posting it online, we can let our community use any method they want to listen to our message. Most of us probably don’t realize how many ways there are to listen to on-demand audio. Listed below are some of the means but there are many more.

Ways to listen to on-demand audio and podcasts



* Directly from a website using computer. This is as simple as surfing the Internet on your desktop PC or laptop and clicking on a link to listen through your web browser.  For example, if you go to https://crimepreventionhq.com/3  you will see a media player embedded right in the post and you can stream the audio through the website.

* Download the (MP3) file.  In most cases, you can right-click on a link to an audio file and select “save” to download the file to your hard drive.

The Roku is a great device for streaming Netflix, Hulu Plus, Pandora, Amazon Prime Video and most anything else you can think of to your TV.

* On Internet enabled smart TVs. Internet-enabled TVs are ready for listeners to surf to your ...
