What is A Podcast? PODCASTING IS NOT A NEW TECHNOLOGY
A podcast is an episodic series of digital media files which a user can set up so that new episodes are automatically downloaded via web syndication to the user's own local computer or portable media player Wikipedia. Audio (or audio and video) content specifically designed for synchronizing and playback on mobile audio players, such as Apple’s iPod and MP3 playback-enabled mobile phones. Much of this content is highly topical, derived from radio or TV broadcasts, and it is often free. Podcasts are an example of “sticky” content: listeners are encouraged to subscribe to a podcast “channel” that typically is updated with new content daily or weekly – Gartner WAIT!!
