Podcasting
From Wikipedia:
Podcasting is the method of distributing multimedia files, such as audio programs or music videos, over the Internet using either the RSS or Atom syndication formats, for playback on mobile devices and personal computers.
Webmonkey>>So, for example, some will listen to HST Kevin's podcast on their iPods, (hence the Pod in podcast) some via the EC toolbar and some just by clicking the link and going right to the site. While technically posting an mp3 with Kevin jabbering on it isn't the literal definition of a podcast, because the other options are available, that gets lumped in too.<<Webmonkey
The term podcast, like 'radio', can mean both the content and the method of delivery. The host or author of a podcast is often called a podcaster. Podcasters' web sites may also offer direct download or streaming of their files; a podcast however is distinguished by its ability to be downloaded automatically using software capable of reading RSS or Atom feeds.

Usually a podcast features one type of 'show', with new episodes released either sporadically or at planned intervals such as daily or weekly. In addition, there are podcast networks that feature multiple shows on the same feed.
Webmonkey>>So the hope is that Kevin and the rest of the Emerald City Chronicles staff will find time to produce regular podcasts that we can all listen to. How cool is that?<<Webmonkey
Podcasting's essence is about creating content (audio or video) for an audience that wants to listen or watch when they want, where they want, and how they want.
