What is a Podcast?

A podcast is a digital media file, or a
series of such files, that is distributed over
the Internet using syndication feeds for
playback on portable media players and
personal computers. A podcast is a
specific type of webcast which, like 'radio',
can mean either the content itself or the
method by which it butts syndicated; the
latter is also termed podcasting
(Wikipedia)

Podcast vs. Vidcast - Video podcast
(sometimes shortened to vidcast or vodcast) is
a term used for the online delivery of video on
demand video clip content via Atom or RSS
enclosures. The term is an evolution specialized
for video, coming from the generally audiobased podcast and referring to the distribution of
video where the RSS feed is used as a nonlinear TV channel to which consumers can
subscribe using a PC, TV, set-top box, media
center or mobile multimedia device. (Wikipedia)
