Podcasting refers to the production and provision of subscription-media files (audio or video) over the
Internet. The portmanteau word composed of the two English words iPod and broadcasting. A single
podcast (German: a radio play, and moving closer Audio Book file) is thus a series of media articles
(episodes), over a feed (usually RSS) can be obtained automatically.
One can understand podcasts as radio shows, which can consume, regardless of air time. In the case
of television broadcasts or other video material, which is distributed in this way, we speak of Vodcast,
video podcast or Vidcast. Podcasting would be regarded as part of video / audio-on-Demand.
However, the latter terms are more searchable and for paid services, while "channel" (in English
"feeds" referred to) podcasts, usually free, and provide for a selected set of consumers gradually into
new episodes.
Any participant on the provider side (podcaster) establish such media files and then put them through
a "news feeds" available on a server on the Internet. A subscriber can subscribe to this so-called feed
with a special software ".

A subscription means here that the software
checks periodically the feed of the podcast to
new posts and then down invites. Podcasting is
not just the headlines, but media files are
aggregated.
Unlike a magazine subscription, there is no contractual relationship between providers and
subscribers. One can thus offer a broad public podcasts. The media file can have a quote, any
content, including recordings of radio broadcasts, interviews, automatically read aloud newspaper
articles, musical programs, etc.
Most of these are for podcasts to private programs, similar to radio shows dedicated to a particular
topic. Increasingly, however, also be professionally produced podcasts, available for some special-
interest news and issues. Podcasts provide the content focus of a particular category are often with
an English category codes and the words "cast" means bear. Examples are names such as
Astronomycast, Howcast, Porncast, Sportcast or Educast dar. Educast, a portmanteau of
"educational podcast called" podcasts with the aim of imparting knowledge.
The use of music in their podcasts, the copyright must be observed. A growing trend is the use of
Podsafe music, so royalty or Creative Commons licensed music.
In the area of specialized music scenes of a podcast-like functionality is used so that the scene's
about new music from various labels are always up to date and that digital can audition. It is here to
podcasts in the broader sense, as they are music-related and there is no moderation. It simply uses
the same technical basis.
