1.2. What is a Podcast?

A podcast is a multimedia file that is distributed by subscription over the Internet using syndication feeds, for playback on mobile devices and personal computers.

Like 'radio', it can mean both the content and the method of delivery; the latter may also be termed podcasting. The host or author of a podcast is often called a podcaster.
