What is a "podcast"?A podcast is a media file often in the form of an MP3-format audio file that is playable on your computer or mobile audio player. You can subscribe to a particular podcast "feed" through a free syndicated news feed reader that accepts RSS news streams. Once subscribed, your computer/mobile device will check regularly to see if there are any new podcasts available. Think of it as your own personal radio station.
For more information on podcasts and RSS feeds, check out Yahoo!'s podcast primer, or the podcast entry in Wikipedia (an Internet encyclopedia). Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions, by emailing info@aecdaily.com.
