What is a Podcast?
Podcast stands for Personal On Demand Broadcast
Originally derived from the words “broadcast” and “iPod”

A podcast is an audio or video digital media file that is distributed over the Internet. A podcast is different from other video or audio files that you can download on the Web because a podcast can be subscribed to and automatically downloaded for you when new content is added.
