Podcast as defined on "
Podhead" - PODCAST: The word podcast was originally constructed by the words "iPod" and "boradcast". Later, the expression POD was redefined to mean "Personal On Demand", so that podcasting came to mean "Personal On Demand CASTING" or "Personal transmitions available for download". So, a podcast is a series of related shows available on the internet, that can be played back on an MP3 player. Besides a number of episodes a podcast consists of an RSS feed, that describes the podcasts and its individual episodes.
