 * Introduction**

 * A **podcast** is a collection of [|digital media] files which is distributed over the [|Internet], often using [|syndication] [|feeds], for playback on [|portable media players] and [|personal computers]. The term, like "[|radio]", can refer either to the content itself or to the method by which it is syndicated; the latter is also termed **podcasting**. The [|host] or [|author] of a podcast is often called a **podcaster**
 * The term "podcast" is a [|portmanteau] of the words "[|iPod]" and "[|broadcast]",[|[1]] the [|Apple] [|iPod] being the brand of portable media player for which the first podcasting scripts were developed (see [|history of podcasting]).
