Wikipedia define “Podcasting” as follow: “Podcasting, a portmanteau of Apple’s “iPod” and “broadcasting”, is a method of publishing files to the Internet, allowing users to subscribe to a feed and receive new files automatically by subscription, usually at no cost. It first became popular in late 2004, used largely for audio files.” Other realted terms include “audioblogging” and “rsscasting”.
