Podcasting
Document Actions
- A form of audio broadcasting using
the Internet, podcasting takes its name from a combination of "iPod"
and broadcasting. iPod is the immensely popular digital audio player
made by Apple computer, but podcasting does not actually require the
use of an iPod.
Podcasting involves making one or more audio files available as "enclosures" in an RSS feed. A pod-caster creates a list of music, and/or other sound files (such as recorded poetry, or "talk radio" material) and makes that list available in the RSS 2.0 format. The list can then be obtained by other people using various podcast "retriever" software which read the feed and makes the audio files available to digital audio devices (including, but not limited to iPods) where users may then listen to them at their convenience.
