“What is a Podcast?”


If I were to answer this question as simply as possible I would say, “Podcasting is making a recording for use on an Ipod or a computer using syndication feeds.”  Podcasting is relatively new concept in the world but wasn’t created yesterday either.  A podcast is an existing recording that was made for playback on an Ipod or a computer.

Podcasts have evolved since their conception in 2004. They are not just for trivial recordings made by promising musicians or authors. Podcasting is used regularly by businesses: promoting products and ideas, doctors; sharing their knowledge with their colleagues, and schools; for a variety of disciplines. So the uses of the podcast are vast and almost limitless.
