What is a Podcast?
A podcast is an audio recording posted online, much like a short radio
show. Podcasting is a method of publishing audio and video programs
via the Internet that lets users subscribe to a feed of new files (usually
MP3s).
With
podcasts, now you can automatically receive new shows, without having
to go to a specific site and download it from there.
