What
is a podcast?
A podcast is an audio recording posted online — much like a radio show
for your computer. It can be downloaded and listened to on your computer, iPod
or any other device that plays MP3's. It can also be streamed via the web — so
you can listen to it anywhere, at any time.

This saves the podcast directly on your computer's hard drive. There
you can manage and play it like any song or audio file by using your music
software (iTunes, Windows Media, Real Player, etc...) You can also transfer
it to your iPod or MP3 player to listen to it on-the-go.
