| What is a podcast? Here's an
explanation from GCast:
"A podcast is an audio recording,
which could be anything from a 10-sec sound to a 30-min radio show,
stored as an MP3 file that anybody can download.
The word podcast is also used to mean a
podcast channel, i.e., a channel that listeners can
"subscribe" to and receive future audio posts, or podcast
entries, all for FREE. (For technical readers, a podcast channel is an
RSS feed, and each audio post is an enclosure embedded in the RSS feed.)
The result is a new way of sharing audio
via the Internet.
Imagine having a radio with millions of
channels, and being able to have your favorite channels automatically
saved for future listening on your PC or iPod. Each channel could range
from professionally-produced radio programs to short voice messages
recorded by phone.
Imagine also the ability to create your
own channel or audio journal and share it with the rest of the world!
That's exactly what Gcast enables you to do, whether you're recording
messages by phone, sharing music online, or creating entire audio
productions."
