What is podcast or webcast?

Podcast

Before jumping into an extended clarification of what a podcast is, we should take a peek at "podcast" itself. Initially said by Ben Hammersley in a 2004 Guardian daily paper article, the "unit" of podcast is obtained from Apple's "iPod" computerized media player; and the "cast" segment of podcast is taken from Radio's "broadcast" term. As an issue of clarity, since it's named after Apple's iPod, does not as a matter of course imply that you have to possess or utilize an iPod — or any useful advanced media player so far as that is concerned — to appreciate a podcast.

A digital sound document made accessible on the Internet for downloading to a PC or compact media player, ordinarily accessible as an arrangement, new portions of which can be gotten by subscribers consequently. (International Podcast Day, 2014)
