Podcasting basics
The following section gives you a quick insight into the terminology being used.
Podcasting is a term derived from combining the two 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 which allow users to listen and, of late, even view
digital media on such portable media devices as iPod players and laptops.
RSS (Really Simple Syndication) and Atom are Web content syndication formats written in XML which
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. Usually, it launches
when the computer is started and then runs in the background, managing feeds that you add manually and
downloading each at a speciedinterval.
