What is a podcast?

Danny Kelly (Podcaster) gives expert video advice on: What is a podcast?; How often are podcasts broadcast?; How did you become involved with podcasts? and more...

A podcast, technically, is a series of files that can be pushed - in the old language - to people, to their computers when they're subscribed, or which just sit there and people come and stream it. Also, a podcast is the individual program or piece of entertainment or information that people make. Podcasting is both the technical activity of sending out these pieces of information, and the activity of making the entertainment and the shows themselves.
