Podcasting
is a web-based broadcast medium in which media files are made available
online thus allowing software to automatically detect and download new
files (generally via RSS).
A PodCast is comparable to an audio magazine subscription in that the
subscriber receives regular programs that he/she can listen to or view at
his/her own leisure. It can also be considered as the internet equivalent
of timeshift-capable digital video recorders (DVRs) such as TiVo, which
allows users to automatically record and store television programs for
later viewing.
Podcasting most often involves audio files in MP3 format but different
formats and other types of files, such as video, can also be PodCasted.
WebPod
Studio is capable of handling both audio and video recording, eliminating
the need to use separate programs to create PodCasts. It also has the
ability to publish PodCasts to designated servers, and create and maintain
RSS feeds.
The word "PodCasting" is a merger of the words iPod and broadcasting. The
name "PodCast" is no longer specifically related to the iPod but to any
software and hardware combination that permits the downloading and playing
of files on any device that is capable of playing modern audio and/or
video formats.
This technology enables anyone to start-up their own (internet based)
radio or television show, without requiring expensive hardware. It is now
easy to create a show without the exorbitant costs paid to broadcast
companies to air the program and where, more often then not, you end up
paying for airtime slots which have very few listeners. PodCasts are
subscription based, which means that listeners/viewers can select what
they want to hear or view. This system has already proven successful as
there are countless popular internet programs that draw in listeners by
the tens of thousands plus.
