What are podcasts?
Podcasts (a combination of the terms "iPod" and "broadcast") are audio or video files that you can listen to or watch on your computer or on a variety of portable media devices. They are usually short, often free, and usually a part of a series. You can subscribe to receive new podcasts automatically via your computer or other media device. You can also download from a website or a variety of podcast directories such as iTunes 
or Zune .
Podcasts are often an easy, inexpensive way to gather and provide information to your target audience(s). They also offer an audio alternative to text.
