Knowra Podcasting Podcasting Podcasting is the production and distribution of episodic digital audio, usually delivered through feeds or platforms for on-demand listening. Episodes may be downloaded or streamed.
RSS : RSS is a web feed format that publishes updates in a machine-readable file. Podcast RSS feeds announce new episodes and provide their titles, descriptions, and audio locations.
Audioblogging : Audioblogging is the publication of spoken audio entries online, often in a recurring series. It anticipated podcasting by pairing personal audio publishing with web distribution.
Digital audio : Digital audio represents sound as numerical samples that can be stored, edited, and transmitted by computers. Podcast episodes are digital audio files or streams.
Narrative podcast : A narrative podcast presents a story across one or more audio episodes. Its serialized storytelling uses podcast episodes to sustain a plot over time.
Radio broadcasting : Radio broadcasting transmits audio programs to audiences over radio waves or internet channels, often on a schedule. Podcasting centers on episodic on-demand access rather than primarily scheduled listening.
Podcast hosting : Podcast hosting stores episode files and makes them available to listening apps. Hosts serve audio files and often generate the RSS feeds that distribute them.
RSS enclosure : An RSS enclosure is a feed element that identifies a linked media file and its size and type. Enclosures made it possible for feed readers to retrieve audio episodes automatically.
MP3 : MP3 is a lossy audio compression format that reduces file size by discarding less perceptible sound information. Its compact files made podcast episodes practical to download and store.
News podcast : A news podcast delivers news reporting or analysis in an audio program. News organizations use podcast distribution for briefings, interviews, and deeper reporting.
Internet radio : Internet radio is audio programming transmitted continuously over the internet, often in a live or scheduled stream. Unlike a continuous station, a podcast is typically organized as retrievable episodes.
