Podcasting
A **podcast** is a series of audio or video digital-media files which is distributed over the Internet by syndicated download, through Web feeds , to portable media players and personal computers. Though the same content may also be made available by direct download or streaming, a podcast is distinguished from other digital-media formats by its ability to be syndicated, subscribed to, and downloaded automatically when new content is added.
