Podcasting is a technology for distributing audio and video files via the internet. Using a subscription model, a publisher of content makes a file available to a subscriber using a web address known as feed URL. Feeds can be subscribed to using a program called a "podcatcher," for example Apple's iTunes or Juice. New content is first published to a web server. Podcatchers periodically check feeds for new content and when new content is available, the podcatcher will download it to your personal computer. The file may be played at a later time at your convenience on your personal computer, or downloaded to a personal media player, for example, Apple's iPod. Podcasting effectively shifts control to the audience who now determines when, where and how they listen to or view content distributed via the internet.
