Widgets are those little programs that run on windows/linux or mac os x
desktops...apple calls em gadgets i think.  Looks like spring widgets put
them in your browser so with that address you can embed PRI info on your own
web page using their link.   The xml feed is the rss feed to the web page
for when info changes you can get it in an rss feed.

RSS feeds are kinda like the old idea of push email.  You subscribe to a
feed via a web address, usually an XML feed but there are others and at
intervals you set on your reader it goes to the address to check for
changes, then downloads and displays the new feed in your reader.  A podcast
is an RSS feed with an enclosure, the enclosure being the audio that comes
with it, almost as an attachment.
