2. What is a podcast/podcasting Podcasting, created by former MTV VJ Adam Curry is a term that was devised as a crisp way to describe the technology used to push audio content from websites down to consumers of that content, who typically listen to it on their iPod (hence the "pod") or other audio player that supports mp3 at their convenience. In simple terms, people create file, upload them to a computer/site, make into an mp3, and another person downloads them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPyoJisyO2o
