What is Podcasting? : 

What is Podcasting? A podcast (not to be confused or equated with Apple's iPod) usually consists of a combination of audio and/or video that is made available for download via syndication. It is this syndication aspect of the delivery that separates a podcast from a file available for download. The files are usually retrieved with software applications (generically known as podcatchers) such as Apple's iTunes so that subscribers can listen at their convenience on devices that do not have (consistent or slow) Internet access. The podcatcher reads an rss feed to identify and retrieve the podcast.Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podcasting
