Podcasting

Podcasting began as a radio broadcast of spoken content, ranging from pre-recorded individual essays or free speeches to more traditional talk show-style formats on a wide variety of topics. Podcasts _ video or audio _ are distributed via RSS. They can be used on any device that supports audio playback, from smartphones and tablets to portable music players such as the Apple iPod.

Podcasting is the transmission of audio programs over the Internet and playing them on mobile devices or computers, downloading or streaming them. The word "podcast" is often referred to as a combination of iPod and streaming.
