A podcast is a audio or video file that you download onto your computer to enjoy. They are commonly downloaded with a podcatcher program that maintains the podcasts and downloads new media whenever it is published. In other words, you subscribe to a podcast and it downloads it any time the person producing it, publishes it to the inernet.
I subscribe to Podcasts that deal with technology, photography and humor. Since I started doing this I have pretty much stopped listening to the radio. I download the podcast to my computer and then copy the files to my portable MP3 player. (Zune 80gig) and listen to them where ever I go.
I have even thought of creating my own and have everything I need to do it except for the nerve to talk on a microphone. So bear with me and i will keep you updated on my progress.
