Day 7: Podcasting Lesson

Podcasting aka cybercasting aka ... we're not sure what to call it.

Comes from the early days of web 2.0 when the internet had developed to the point where people could put their own things on line and share them with others.

So something that you created and put on the web to share, usually music, and usually with an Apple iPod became known as a podcast. The name has stuck but if you come up with a better term, let me know.

Usually it means a digital audio file that can be accessed on the web where the listener has control of the user experience, when to listen, when to pause, rewind, repeat.
Many web services offer podcasting capability: PodoMatic, PodBean, SoundCloud , Internet Archive eg. Anchor is a new service that offers a full feature podcasting service that lets you add your own audio files but then lets you use their audio clips to put together a professional sounding show.
