Podcasting Basics
Before you get started, it is important to understand some of the terminology and
uses surrounding the emerging eld of podcasting.
Podcasting is a term derived from the combination of the words “iPod” and
“broadcasting,” and is dened as the distribution of audio or video les, such as radio
programs or music clips, over the Internet. This is accomplished by using one of two
syndication techniques that allow users to access media on such portable media
devices as smart phones, tablets, MP3 players, and laptop computers.
RSS (Really Simple Syndication) and Atom are Web content syndication formats written
in XML that provide either podcast content or summaries that link to content and
additional le information.
Podcast is a feed of audio or video les placed on the Internet for public access.
Anyone can subscribe to the feed and download the media les. This allows you to
collect programs from a wide range of sources for listening or viewing media content,
either online or oine with your computer or an appropriate portabledevice.
Podcatcher refers to a software application that enables the download of podcasts.
It typically runs in the background, managing feeds that you add manually and
downloads each at a specied interval.
