Podcasting
In recent years, podcasting has become an alternative to the radio in some countries. It is a method of distributing digital files such as audio files or music videos over the internet, so that they can be played repeatedly on personal computer, laptop or portable media players like MP3 players and Ipods. The first podcasting scripts were developed for Apple's Ipods
The term "podcast" can be used to describe both the delivery mechanism and content of the audio file being broadcast. The author of the podcast works in a manner similar to radio show host. The podcast may be a general entertainment show or related to a number of interrelated subjects. Interviews and reviews of products are a popular subject for podcasts.
Some popular podcasters have regular shows at planned intervals like once or twice a week. Others may create a podcast only when required. Additionally, there are podcast networks that feature multiple shows by different podcasters.Podcasts allow the audience to listen or watch when they want, where they want, and how they want.
