What is podcasting?

Podcasting is a method of automatically distributing audio and video content over the Internet. The word ‘podcasting’ is a mix of the words ‘iPod’ (Apple’s popular portable mp3 player) and ‘broadcasting.’

Do I need an iPod to download and listen to a podcast?

No. To download a podcast, you only need a computer with an Internet connection and podcast software (which you’ll need to install). Apple’s iTunes is one such program that is popular for downloading and listening to podcasts. To listen to podcast content, you’ll need an mp3 player or any computer with audio-playing software.
