With podcasting you can broadcast any audio or video content on the net for anyone to view and download on their computer or mobile phones and then listen or watch offline. It is also possible to subscribe to a podcast whereby they will send you the file every week or so depending upon the format. Many podcasts can be viewed free of charge and viewing a podcast is different from just downloading any other file from the media as the mode varies.
A list of all audio or video files are maintained with the directory as a web feed and the viewer or listener must use a client application software called a podcatcher to access this web feed and download it. If it is automated then they are automatically downloaded.
If you have the necessary tools, downloading can be done free of cost. Some websites provide podcasts where you don’t need an iPod or even an MP3 player. You can load free software into your computer such as iTunes and then play the podcast. Some free podcasts allow you to use iTunes or Yahoo to subscribe to the podcast. You have to only click the icon near your selected podcast or even just copy the link given onto your software.
