What is a podcast?
A podcast is an audio file that you download from the Internet. After you download it, you can listen to it on your computer or on an MP3/portable music player (for example, an iPod or iRiver).  You can subscribe to a podcast so that it is delivered to you automatically each day, just like a newspaper.
