Do you know what a podcast is? This concept means a sound file (for example, MP3) or a video file (flash-video FLV), which is freely available on the Internet for mass listeners or to view the target audience.
A podcast can be compared to Internet radio, only unlike streaming, there are pieces of the radio that can be downloaded and listened to on any player.
At the beginning of their development, they were only sound and were intended only for listening to media players (like the iPod). Podcasting has now evolved into several formats, such as audio and video.

A large number of programs have been created, such as the very popular iTunes application, where you can download and play podcasts.
In comparison with television and radio broadcasting, they do not require licensing of frequencies and are available at any time for listeners. Nowadays, the terminology associated with the podcast has become increasingly misused. So, podcasting is an activity, and podcast is the only issue or the general name of the program.
