Notes:

*         Podcasting is a form of audio broadcasting on the internet

*         The most common form of podcast is an MP3 audio file

*         You can subscribe to podcasts so that the syndicated material comes to you rather than searching for the files

*         Podcasts are often distributed via blogs

*         Podcasts can be configured with software that will automatically download to a portable MP3 player

*         Podcasting can potentially reach a much larger audience than traditional radio

*         Podcasts enable time-shifting whereby content is consumed whenever and wherever

*         Podcasting empowers individuals to distribute messages on a global scale

*         It has impacted traditional media (tv, radio, newspapers) significantly and is now considered nearly as mainstream
