Podcasting Basics

Podcast is a term that was developed to describe audio output created to be transferred to web page or a mp3 player. The term is derived from the words broadcast and iPod, Apple's mp3 player, to mean audio files shared with others. Podcasts may be syndicated, subscribed to, or downloaded.

Why podcast? Well, do you have information that you would like to be easily shared among large groups of people far and near? If you do, then you may choose to share that information in the form of a podcast. If you do not have information to share, there must be information that you are interested in researching. In which case, as you research you may come across a helpful podcast. Perhaps it is a interview with a famous author or a radio show discussing politics; whatever it may be, the podcast was probably easy to access.
