This site has a good introductory article.
http://www.how-to-podcast-tutorial.com/what-is-a-podcast.htmThe word podcast is a combination on the word broadcast combined with the word iPod (one of the most popular portable MP3 players). You do not have to have an iPod to listen to a podcast; you can listen to podcasts on anything that plays MP3s.
With podcasts you don’t have to wait to hear something that interests you. You choose what you want to listen to. You can even have podcasts automatically download to your computer or mp3 player when new episodes of the podcast are released.
For example, Star Wars miniatures. You're on BlooMilk so you must be interested in the game. Go to our website at
