Podcasting

=Podcasting=

Definition:
"Podcasting, a portmanteau of Apple's "iPod" and "broadcasting", is a method of publishing files to the Internet, allowing users to subscribe to a feed and receive new files automatically by subscription, usually at no cost. It first became popular in late 2004, used largely for audio files." ([|Wikipedia)]

Podcasting does not actually require an iPod. One can access podcasts via the web with almost any audio software and/or with most portable digital music players. Creating podcasts can be done using free software. Podcast files can be hosted using various, free online services.
