What is Podcasting? Podcasting is a web-based audio broadcast system. Audio files (usually in MP3 format) are made available online in a way that allows special software to automatically detect the availability of new files and download the files for listening at the user's convenience.

To get started, you need software on your computer to "subscribe" to the podcast feeds from the sites you want. There are many software choices available, many of which are free of charge. Most are available as desktop software that you download and install on your computer or mobile device.
