What Are Podcasts?

The word "podcast" is a concatenation of the words iPod and broadcast. The underlying technology used for podcasts, called RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is capable of containing any type of media including audio, video, graphics, and more.

Podcasting is a way of publishing podcasts to the web, allowing people to subscribe to a podcast and receive new "episodes" automatically through an RSS feed. Podcasting consists of publishing XML files which contain references to media (called "enclosures") to a website. Podcast aggregators (often called "podcatchers"), then read these XML files and download all the linked enclosures.
