For those of you that need to brush up on this technology before next week's feature, The Future of Podcasting, here's some good info for you. This is not meant to be an end-all-be-all, but its a good start for you to understand podcasting.
What is Podcasting?
Without getting into history and semantics, podcasting is basically audio programs that are recorded as .mp3 files and then made available for download to be listened to whenever is convenient.
If you have no idea what podcasting is, I highly recommend you click the following link, read the Wikipedia page and return. If you are listening to podcasts, but would like more information and history, follow the link as well and come back.
