What is a podcast?

iTunes has put together an excellent guide to podcasts so rather than reinvent the wheel, here is an excerpt:

A podcast is an episodic program delivered via the Internet using an XML protocol called RSS. Podcast episodes can be audio files, video files, documents, or any combination of the three. The publisher or broadcaster (e.g. Web Watch) podcasts the program by posting the episodes and the XML document to a Web server. The consumer subscribes to the podcast using a client application, such as iTunes, which regularly reads the XML file and downloads new episodes.

A wide variety of programs are emerging as podcasts, because the protocol offers compelling characteristics for publishers and there are a few benefits to the subscribers too:

  • Podcasts are free.
  • There are thousands of podcasts available from all over the world.
  • New podcast episodes appear automatically and can be enjoyed anywhere, anytime.
