WHAT IS PODCASTING?

Podcasting is a method of publishing files to the Internet, allowing users to subscribe to a feed and receive new files automatically by subscription, usually at no cost.

RSS

RSS is a protocol, an application of XML, that provides an open method of syndicating and aggregating Web content including podcasts. Using RSS files, you can create a data feed that supplies headlines, links, and article summaries from your Web site. Users can have constantly updated content from web sites delivered to them via a news aggregator, a piece of software specifically tailored to receive these types of feeds.
