About Podcasting
Podcasting is a technology for automatically distributing audio programs, typically in MP3 format, to portable digital audio players. Podcasts are rapidly becoming an important source of audio content on the web.
Podcasters create audio programs (podcasts) and save them to a web server. They also publish an XML-based news feed that lists their most recent shows. Listeners can use podcast client software to subscribe to the podcast news feed, and the software will automatically download the latest shows and synchronizes them to a portable digital audio player. Listeners can then enjoy their personal mix of music, talk and other audio programming on their own timetable.
Podcasting was pioneered by developer Dave Winer and net entrepeneur Adam Curry. The technology has taken off as companies and individuals have found out how easy it is to share audio content using podcasting.
