Podcasting involves making an
audio file (usually in MP3 format) of content that is updated frequently
(i.e. a weekly radio program) available for automatic download so
users can listen to the file at their convenience. The term Podcasting
comes from the popular iPod music player from Apple Computer, however
the technology is not limited to using an iPod.
