What Is A Podcast
What Is A Podcast?
Below is a definition of podcasting pulled from
Wikipedia that provides you with information about podcasting, its
roots and some of the technical aspects surrounding podcasting. The
following is provided free from editing and I take no credit for
this wonderful explanation.
Podcasting, created by former MTV VJ Adam Curry, is a term that was
devised as a crisp way to describe the technology used to push audio
content from websites down to consumers of that content, who
typically listen to it on their iPod (hence the "pod") or other
audio player that supports MP3 (and even WMA) at their convenience.
The term podcasting is meant to rhyme with
broadcasting and is a derivative of the iPod platform. While not
directly associated with Apples iPod device or iTunes music service,
the company did contribute both the desire and the technology for
this capability.
What makes podcasting special is that it allows individuals to
publish (Podcast) radio shows, that interested listeners can
subscribe to. Before podcasting you could of course record a radio
show and put it on your website, but now people can automatically
receive new shows, without having to go to a specific site and
download it from there.
In this short video well known journalist Danny Kelly, talks about Podcasting.
(Danny Kelly has worked in print and radio journalism for over twenty years. He was editor of New Musical Express from the late 1980s to 1992. After that he edited the British music monthly, Q, and was awarded the title British Magazine Editor of the Year for his work there. He also launched the sports monthly Total Sport. He often works in partnership with fellow sports fan and radio journalist Danny Baker.)
