What Is Podcasting?
Podcasting is the use of RSS feeds (see RSS) to distribute multimedia content.
A podcast is an audio or video file that you can play on your computer or mobile media player. Think of it as a radio program or television show that you download over the Internet and enjoy at your convenience.
You can subscribe to podcasts using a special program called a podcasting client. The client can be set up to download the latest editions of your favorite podcasts as soon as they become available, and then copy them to your media player.
Usually individual episodes of a podcast can also be downloaded from the podcast's web site.
Free Podcasting Clients
Juice (Windows, Mac and Linux) is a popular free podcast client.
Apple iTunes (Windows and Mac) supports podcasting.
Windows users can also try Doppler or RSSRadio.
Podnova is a podcast search engine.
