What is podcasting?

Podcasting is a way to receive audio broadcasts through the Internet using an automatic "feed" in a process called "subscribing." You can listen to the podcast from your computer using free software, or you can transfer the file to a portable media player, such as an MP3 player. To subscribe to the podcast, however, you need podcasting software. There are many free or commercial podcasting applications available for download. You can search on "listen to podcasts" to find many applications to choose from.
