What is a Podcast?

A podcast is an audio recording in digital format ready for download or streaming over the internet. It very much resembles a program broadcasted on Radio Waves with the main difference being -of course – the medium (i.e. Internet vs Radio Waves) and that it’s pre-recorded vs. -mostly- live. Podcasts are mostly talk shows and their goal is not only to entertain but also inform & educate their audience. Hence, they explore a huge range of topics that span from Business to Politics, Technology, Science, Arts, Health and generally speaking every facet of human life. Also they vary a lot in format with some being as short as 20-30 minutes while others being on the lengthy side extending to 2-3 hours long.

One can choose to listen a Podcast on any capable computing device connected to the internet such as Smartphone, Tablet, Desktop Computer or Notebook. Another option is to use such a device to download the audio files and then transfer them to a mp3 player (but I guess this is now very old school since smartphones have almost completely replaced mp3 players, iPods and the like).
