Podcasting

Podcasting comes from combining two words: iPod and broadcasting. Unlike traditional broadcasts, which require the listener tune in at the exact time a program is broadcast, podcasting allows the listener to download a program from the internet when convenient and listen to it on his/her [|iPod] whenever and where ever the listener chooses. It is the automatic distribution of audio and video files across the internet. Pocasts are audio files recorded and uploaded to a server that can be subcribed to, or downloaded to be played on your computer through iTunes, an iPod or any mp3 player. Digital images and video may also be added to GarageBand to produce vodcasts, which can be played on a video iPod or through iTunes on your computer.
