Podcasting

Podcasting. This new term on the technology block is one you should expect to hear lots more of in the coming months. What is it? In a nutshell, think on going radio shows which you download and play on your favorite MP3 player or other portable audio device. You subscribe to a specific podcast's feed through special software and as new episodes are released they are automatically downloaded to your computer and, depending upon the software you are using, transferred directly to your player.

I am currently preparing a more detailed article on the subject but in the interim here are a few links to help you get started understanding this interesting subject more:
