Podcasting
Have you heard of podcasting? Below is a simple explanation.
The word ‘Podcast' is a mix of the words ‘iPod' and ‘broadcast'. This has lead many people into believing that you need an iPod to be able to access podcasts, but they would be mistaken. You do not need an iPod - nor any other MP3 player - to podcast, or listen to a podcast for that matter. All you need is some audio-playing software on your computer, and of course, some form of device to allow you to hear it. The majority of people have both speakers and some form of audio-playing software.
