This concept originated from the combination of iPod (the cool little Apple device) and broadcast.

Audio broadcast available on the Web to the public for free downloading to a personal computer or a digital audio player. Despite its name, a podcast may be played through a variety of digital audio software and hardware. Use is not limited to the iPod brand products developed by Apple.

Podcasting is similar in nature to RSS, which allows subscribers to subscribe to a set of feeds to view syndicated website content. With podcasting however, you have a set of subscriptions that are checked regularly for updates and instead of reading the feeds on your computer screen, you listen to the new content on on your iPod (or like device).

The term podcast is a marriage of the terms iPod and broadcast. A podcast is an audio file, usually in MP3 format, which can be delivered to your computer via the Internet through a subscription method such as RSS. The term can apply to a single audio file, but is generally used when referring to a recurring show.

Recording of a non-music audio broadcast (ex. news, sports, presentation, discussion etc.) in MP3 format for playback in a digital music player.

There are many definitions floating through cyber-space for the term podcast. This is due, in part, to the fact that it is a relatively new concept AND it is evolving. Podcast can be a noun or a verb, and the term is inspired from the words "iPod" and broadcast. As a noun, it is an audio file (almost always in an MP3 format) that is attached to an RSS feed, which allows subscribers to that feed to download and listen - either on a portable device such as an iPod or other MP3 player. It can also be played on a listener's personal computer using any MP3 player. As a verb, it means to create such an audio file and to make it available over the Internet using RSS technology.

The practise of sending audio files directly to people who have subscribed to them on websites. Podcasting software lets you select audio items that interest you - for instance a radio programme that goes out several times weekly - and request them to be sent directly to you when they become available. The "pod" part of the name comes from the Apple iPod, but podcasts can be listened to an any sound-equipped computer or digital audio device.

Live Teleseminar sessions can be recorded and provided for download for listening via MP3, or other related formats. The common term for this is ''podcast''. While students do not get to participate live in the educational session, they do have the advantage of listening to content when and where they want.

The delivery of an audio program to a computer via an RSS feed (Really Simple Syndication) which sends new files automatically to the user's computer. Primary use is intended for portable digital players or computers but other listening options may be employed (home stereo systems or car stereos).

What make podcasting unique is the ability to subscribe to someone's Podcast and listen to that Podcast whenever you want.

Similar to text syndication, podcasting allows users to subscribe to audio-based content. Used as alternatives, replacements or supplements to traditional radio broadcasts.

A recorded broadcast, designed to be downloaded and listened to on a PC or MP3 player.
