Podcast Definition

New Oxford American Dictionary

A digital recording of a radio

broadcast or similar program,

made available on the Internet

for downloading to a personal

audio player, but the generally

accepted definition has

expanded to include video as

well as audio.

Originally derived from a

combination of "broadcasting"

and "iPod ™," the word was

declared "word of the year"

when it was added to the

dictionary at the end of 2005.

Jason’s Mind

Any type of recording program

(Audio, video, or screen

capture) that is posted

(published) online on a regular

basis

AND

Is available through

“subscribing” (podcatching) via

a program of choice (i.e.,

iTunes) rather than having to

go back to the website to

retrieve the latest episode
