Podcasting is a term derived from combining the two words “iPod”
and“broadcasting” and is dened as the distribution of audio or video les,
such as radio programs or music clips, over the Internet. This is accomplished
by using one of two syndication techniques which allow users to listen and,
oflate,even view digital media on such portable media devices as iPod players
andlaptops.
RSS (Really Simple Syndication) and Atom are Web content syndication
formats written in XML which provide either podcast content or summaries that
link to content and additional le information.

media content, either online or oine with your computer or an appropriate
portabledevice.
Podcatcher refers to a software application that enables the download of
podcasts. Usually, it launches when the computer is started and then runs in the
