what is a podcast?

A podcast is a digital media file (an MP3, for example) that is distributed over the Internet by RSS feeds. You can listen to the files on your computer or subscribe to them via RSS so that new editions are delivered straight to you. You can also upload the files to your MP3 player and take them with you.
