post 1 on podcast

"A podcast (or non-streamed webcast) is a series of digital media files (either audio or video) that are released episodically and often downloaded through web syndication. The word replaced webcast in common vernacular due to the fame of the iPod and its role in the rising popularity and innovation of web feeds" (wikipedia). I had no idea what a pod cast was before this class. I did have to look up this information to be able to understand what it actually was.
