WHAT IS PODCASTING?
The term podcasting
is a marriage of the terms “iPod” and “broadcasting.”
is a method of publishing files to the Internet, allowing users to
subscribe to a feed and receive new files automatically. It first became
popular in late 2004, used largely for audio files.
Podcasting is distinct from
other types of audio content delivery because of its subscription model,
which uses the RSS 2.0 file format. This technique has enabled independent
producers to create self-published, syndicated "radio shows", and has given
broadcast radio programs a new distribution channel.
Users subscribe to podcasts
using "podcatching" software (also called "aggregator" software) which
periodically checks for and downloads new content. It can then sync the
content to the user's portable music player. Podcasting does not require an
iPod or iTunes; any digital audio player or computer with the appropriate
software can play podcasts.
We suggest you use
iTunes
or
iPodder
as podcatchers.
