What is Podcasting?
Podcasting is audio broadcasting on the Internet. Despite its name, you do not need an iPod to listen to a podcast. You can listen to podcasts using a web browser, music software such as Windows’ built-in Media Player, or an MP3 player (iPods are MP3 players manufactured by Apple).
