What is a podcast? A "podcast" is nothing more than an Internet-based show, regardless of whether it's audio or video. This technology has been around for over a decade but only recently has surged in popularity. Contrary to the name, you do not need an iPod or MP3 player to listen to it. Because this podcast is just an MP3 file, you can listen to the show using any MP3-capable player or click on the "Podcast" icon. To download, right-click on the "Download MP3" icon, and click "Save As..."
