Podcast Project

What is podcast?
First mentioned by Ben Hammersley in a 2004 Guardian newspaper article in which he rattled
off possible names for this booming new medium, the “pod” of podcast is borrowed from
Apple’s “iPod” digital media player; and the “cast” portion of podcast is taken from Radio’s
“broadcast” term. As a matter of clarity, just because it’s named after Apple’s iPod, does not
necessarily mean that you have to own or use an iPod — or any portable digital media player for
that matter — to enjoy a podcast.
A podcast is a digital audio file made available on the Internet for downloading to a computer or
mobile device, typically available as a series, new installments of which can be received by
subscribers automatically.
