Podcasting

According to the [|wikipedia], "A **podcast** is a series of [|digital-media files] which are distributed over the [|Internet] using [|syndication] [|feeds] for playback on [|portable media players] and [|computers]. The term //podcast//, like //[|broadcast]//, can refer either to the series of content itself or to the method by which it is syndicated; the latter is also called **podcasting**. The [|host] or [|author] of a podcast is often called a **podcaster**. The term is a [|portmanteau] of the words "[|iPod]" and "[|broadcast]",[|[1]] the [|Apple] [|iPod] being the brand of portable media player for which the first podcasting [|scripts] were developed (see [|history of podcasting]). These scripts allowed podcasts to be automatically transferred to a mobile device after they are downloaded.[|[2]] Though podcasters' web sites may also offer direct [|download] or [|streaming] of their content, a podcast is distinguished from other digital media formats by its ability to be syndicated, subscribed to, and downloaded automatically when new content is added, using an aggregator or feed reader capable of reading feed formats such as [|RSS] or [|Atom]."

Many podcasts can be listened to simply by clicking a link on a webpage. Others may require a podcast programme. The two most common podcast programmes are [|iTunes] (which also allows you to synchronise to an iPod) and [|juice] (which will synchronise downloaded podcasts with several different media players).
