What is a Podcast?

Podcasts are kind of like the old radio serials of the 1930s and 40s. They are pre-recorded audio and/or video programs that are posted to a website and made available for download so people can listen to them on personal computers or mobile devices.What distinguishes a podcast from other types of audio products on the internet is that a podcaster can solicit subscriptions from listeners, so that when new podcasts are released, they can automatically be delivered, or fed, to a subscriber's computer or mobile device. Usually, the podcast features an audio show with new episodes that are fed to your computer at planned intervals, such as daily or weekly.
