What is RSS?

Really Simple Syndication (RSS) is a way to stay up to date with the latest headlines, stories, links to full-length articles and audio files on WNYC.org.

WNYC.org offers RSS feeds by subject and by show. You'll know when an RSS feed is available when you see an orange RSS logo like the one to the right.

There are three ways to read feeds:

1. Use the built-in RSS reader in Firefox, IE7 and Safari. Look for the orange RSS logo or the letters "RSS" to the right in the address bar. (It looks like this in Firefox.) If you see the logo or "RSS," click on it and you'll get the feed.

2. Read feeds within your customized iGoogle or MyYahoo page. Click on the and respectively to add the RSS feeds.

3. Read feeds with dedicated RSS readers, like the free application Amphetadesk, available for Mac OS, Windows and Linux, or a website like Bloglines.

If you have general questions about using RSS, go to the "Using RSS News Feeds" FAQ on NPR.org.

If you are interested in WNYC podcasts (RSS feeds with audio files embedded), go to our podcasts page.
