Podcasts

**Podcasts**-   The creation of digital audio files and the distribution of these files in a way that makes it easy for visitors to listen to them wherever and whenever it is convenient; steps in podcasting include (1) record a digital audio file, (2) put the audio file (MP3) on a Web server, and (3) register the podcast feed with one or more podcast directories (Richardson, 2006).
