What is a podcast?

• A podcast is a digital media file, or a related
  collection of such files, which is distributed
  over the Internet using syndication feeds for
  playback on portable media players and personal
  computers. The term, like "radio", can refer
  either to the content itself or to the method by
  which it is syndicated the latter is also termed
  podcasting. The host or author of a podcast is
  often called a podcaster.
• The term "podcast" is a portmanteau of the words
  "iPod" and "broadcast", the Apple iPod being the
  brand of portable media player for which the
  first podcasting scripts were developed (see
  history of podcasting). These scripts allow
  podcasts to be automatically transferred to a
  mobile device after they are downloaded.
• 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.
