A podcast is a section of media which consists on periodic updates through audio files which can be downloaded or viewd directyl on the directory. The word is actually a neologism in between 'pod' and 'broadcast'. It serves as a very portable and 'on-the-move' type of media which allows for a very updated, easy to do and comfortable way to contact your audience, though podcasts can become very complex. It can also be viewed through live streaming instead of downloading. Though downloads, which are stored on the users computer or mobile device, can be automated to assure al new updates by downloading the podcast from the distributor's web feed.
These audio podcasts are now also being transformed into video podcasts which include a video. This change is being brought forward thanks to faster and more powerful overall internet connections. It is becoming very popular specially for news updates and some webs are using this new media exclusively though audio podcasts are still very extended and popular. I myself enjoy to listen to Empire Online Magazine's (a film magazine) podcasts.
A place where you can find podcasts is iTunes or the SoundCloud which uses RSS Feed and offers a nice alternative to having to open iTunes though when downloading I recommen iTunes more if you already use it for your day-to-day music management.
And here is my podcast and the last I listen to, which I enjoyed a lot. (Though if you have not yet watched the film "The Dark Knight Rises" don't listen to it because it is a spoiler podcast)
