    Podcasts are no different from webcasts. These are shows that are broadcasted over the web, like news programs you here on the radio or see on tv. For more information, visit:

    Hope that helps. Have a good day!

    Podcasting is quickly becoming a buzz word among the techie crowd.

    Podcasting can be used for:

    1. Self-Guided Walking Tours - Informational content.

    2. Music - Band promotional clips and interviews.

    3. Talk Shows - Industry or organizational news, investor news, sportscasts, news coverage and commentaries.
    4. Training - Instructional informational materials.
    5. Story - Story telling for children or the visually-impaired.

    A podcast (or non-streamed webcast) is a series of digital media files (either audio or video) that are released episodically and often its downloaded through web syndication. The word replaced webcast in common use with the success of the iPod and its role in the rising popularity and innovation of web feeds.
    The mode of delivery differentiates podcasting from other means of accessing media files over the Internet, such as direct download, or streamed webcasting. A list of all the audio or video files currently associated with a given series is maintained centrally on the distributor's server as a web feed, and the listener or viewer employs special client application software known as a podcatcher that can access this web feed, check it for updates, and download any new files in the series. This process can be automated so that new files are downloaded automatically. Files are stored locally on the user's computer or other device ready for offline use, giving simple and convenient access to episodic content.[1][2] Commonly used audio file formats are Ogg Vorbis and MP3. In many respects, this is closer to traditional publishing models associated with books and magazines (as opposed to radio, which uses a live stream).
    Academics at the Community, Journalism & Communication Research group at the University of Texas at Austin in the USA are proposing a four-part definition of a podcast: A podcast is a digital audio or video file that is episodic; downloadable; program-driven, mainly with a host and/or theme; and convenient, usually via an automated feed with computer software.[3]

    POD-Casting is the internet world's form of broadcasting, is the new face for radio journalism in the technology era.
    A podcast, simply put, is no different than a webcast, a show that is broadcast over the web and is broken up into parts or episodes. Most podcasts are similar to news radio programs and deliver information on a regular basis, while some podcasts are comedy shows or even special music broadcasts.

    A podcast is an audio which has been given a special xml link.
    The great thing about podcast is that people can download your audio mp3 file and listen to it whenever they want to using their ipod, PDA, computer or other device.
    Podcasting is an effective way to do blogging.

    I'm guessing that the SEO benefit comes into play when you submit the podcast to multiple podcast directories. These are all links of some quality that can help SEO. Podcasts can get you direct traffic by having bumper intro's and statements directing listeners to your sites so put good content people will want to come back to or subscribe to.

    Podcasting is the one of the option of sending audio content on internet. It's working same like RSS feed. But in RSS there is reader of content where in Podcasting you can listen the content.
