Podcasts
A podcast is akin to a radio show that is recorded in an electronic format and made available to listen to at the listener's convenience. The name is derived from the combination of the words "iPod" and "broadcast", although they can be heard on any device that will play the appropriate audio file (most commonly the MP3 format). Podcasts are available from a variety of sources, including the podcast's webpage, but aggregators such as iTunes
