WHAT IS A PODCAST?
Podcasts are audio or video files made readily available over the internet. Most podcasts tend to be only audio files
as video files can grow quite large is size, which makes if difficult to view over slower internet connections.
As podcasts can be automatically downloaded, they are usually subscribed to through podcast RSS feeds. Once you subscribe to a podcast RSS feed, podcasts will download to your podcast software automatically. Most podcasts tend to be provided as embedded audio files on websites. Even though this is not a "true" podcast, it tends to be an easier alternate to use compared with subscribing to the podcast RSS feed. The reason for this is that no podcast playing software is needed, and you can listen to the podcast immediately on the website.
