One of the fastest growing technologies on the Internet today is called Podcasting. This is a rather simple technology that is basically just a video or audio file that is created in a series. The series can be subscribed to via RSS (again, more later) or it can be subscribed to by a podcatching program such as iTunes. Either way, the file needs to be downloaded to the listener or viewer’s computer and then played. Sometimes people will load the podcast to a mobile media player such as Apple’s iPod or Microsoft’s Zune and then listen the podcast or view it later away from their computer. Many times if you go to your favorite TV or radio station’s website you will find a page devoted to podcasts.
