PODCASTS

Podcasting is making audio or video files available online via an RSS feed so that interested users can subscribe to the podcast to receive new files automatically.  Although often associated with the use of Apple iPods or other portable MP3 players, podcasts are accessible through any multimedia computer with internet connectivity and appropriate software such as the free cross-platform Apple iTunes. Podcasts was chosen as the 2005 Word of the Year by the New Oxford American Dictionary.
