What is Podcasting? 

The podcasting story via Wikipedia:

Category: File - :Feed-icon.svg|128px|thumb|An RSS feed icon, commonly used to indicate the Web feed for a podcast

A podcast is a series of digital media files (either audio or video) that are released episodically and downloaded through web syndication. The mode of delivery is what differentiates podcasts from other ways of accessing media files over the Internet, such as simple download or streamed webcasts: special client software applications known as podcatchers (e.g., iTunes, Zune, Juice, and Winamp) are used to automatically identify and download new files in the series when they are released by accessing a centrally-maintained web feed that lists all files associated with the series. New files can thus be downloaded automatically by the podcatcher and stored locally on the user's computer or other device for offline use, giving simpler access to episodic content.

Researchers at the Center for Journalism and Communication Research at the University of Texas at Austin in the USA are proposing a four-part definition of a podcast: A podcast is a digital audio or video file that is episodic; downloadable; programme-driven, mainly with a host and/or theme; and convenient, usually via an automated feed with computer software.

Thanks for the info and resources, David. I'm wondering if there's something I can do with podcasting, and you've given me some places to start my research. (I've never even listened to a podcast, so I guess I better start there!)
