Podcasts are a great way to keep up to date with the news, but they are now also a useful tool to learn maintenance tips and uses for your backyard pool. Pool Doctor of the Palm Beaches offers a new podcast that helps pool owners get the most out of their backyard pool.

West Palm Beach, FL -- (SBWire) -- 05/28/2015 --Podcast subscriptions are a useful tool for our very mobile society. They allow users to get valuable information while on the go, particularly where reading would be challenging. The Pool Doctor of the Palm Beaches just added a new podcast feature on their website so pool owners and potential pool owners can easily get useful maintenance advice and tips on how to effectively use their pool.

Podcasting generally allows information to be played from a computer or virtually any portable media player. It is commonly used for news sources, like National Public Radio, but many other websites use them as well. They can also include information on nearly any topic, including books and music. Users can subscribe to a particular podcast using RSS feed or their iPod via iTunes. Other software services like Odeo or iPodder also provide the streaming services required for podcasts. Podcasts are extremely popular. In fact, Apple passed 1 billion subscriptions on their iTunes app in 2013, and there are many more available today.

One of the main reasons that podcasts have been so popular is because people are spending more and more time in their vehicles or traveling, either for work or for pleasure. They may not have the time to read the news or even locate a newspaper, but they may sit in their car for hours on end with "available" time. According to one study, the average person spends 101 minutes driving per day. Podcasts provide an effective way for users to put that "free time" to good use and get information on the go without having to look any further than their mobile device.

Niche websites, like Pool Doctor of the Palm Beaches, provide a unique service for their listeners because they go into much greater detail about a particular topic than a blog or article might be able to provide. Podcasts like this allow experts to share their valuable information with listeners, and this information is generally unavailable or difficult to find through other sources.

These niche podcasts are also helpful because they target a very specific audience. The Pool Doctor of the Palm Beaches, for example, provides information specifically for those living in the Palm Beach area. This is especially helpful because pool owners in this area face different challenges and maintenance needs when caring for their pool, especially when compared to other parts of the country.

Pool Doctor of the Palm Beaches' first podcast is about pool renovations. They discuss the renovation process and the option to completely rebuild or install a new backyard pool. They also cover how to prepare a backyard pool to sit unused while the owner heads back north for the summer. To keep the pool in top shape, snowbirds still need to arrange for some maintenance while they are away. The Pool Doctor of the Palm Beaches plans to offer a monthly podcast on other seasonally relevant topics.
