-->PodCaSt!!

A Podcast is a file of audio distributed by means of a RSS file, for playback on portable media players and personal computers, is a specific type of webcast which, like 'radio', can mean either the content itself or the method by which it is syndicated; the latter is also termed podcasting.
The term podcasting could be "Rss-mp3-broadcasting". Its content is diverse, but usually it is to weblogger speaking of interesting subjects.
In other words, a podcast is a collection of files (usually audio and video) residing at a unique web feed address. People can "subscribe" to this feed by submitting the feed address to an aggregator (like iTunes - software that runs on the consumer's computer). When new "episodes" become available in the podcast they will be automatically downloaded to that users computer. Unlike radio or streaming content on the web, podcasts are not real-time. The material is pre-recorded and users can check out the material at their leisure, offline.
