Podcasting Information

What is a Podcast?

A podcast is an audio (and possibly other media) file that can be downloaded to your computer. You may even subscribe to a podcast and it will automatically update itself. Once downloaded, you can play the file on your computer immediately or later. Also you can transfer the file to your digital music or multimedia player, such as the iPod.

Podcasting is similar to a VCR or TiVo because it allows you to listen to your selected podcasts whenever you like. Also, because of the portability of player devices, you can listen to audio files from the Internet as you go about your daily activities.
