What is a Podcast?
Answer:
A Podcast is a delivered broadcast of a media
file via Internet connectivity (wireless or otherwise) for PC's and portable media players (iPod, etc.), cell phones, and Internet-capable devices.

The term Podcast is a marriage of "iPod" and "broadcast", since the iPod (Apple, Inc.) player/viewer gadgets that have become so popular were the reason the original Podcast scripts were created, in 2004.

How better to keep up with news headlines, hot topics, sports, and more, than to have all the latest data in your pocket!

The impact is enormous, and the opportunities are endless, both for the consumers and the content providers. 

Podcasts utilize syndication feeds (RSS, Atom, etc.) for updated data, and offer the luxury of automating user preferences by way of subscriptions to the feed services.  Feed readers or aggregators are needed to setup web links and other parameters of the feeds.

Nothing like fresh data feeds for those who hunger for such things!  Just be sure to stop and smell the roses now and then, ok?
