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 de ned 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 o ine 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 speci ed interval.
