Podcasts bring together blogging and audio so it s a kind of audio blog. Podcasting involves the creation and distribution of multimedia files, such as audio files (most commonly, MP3s) or videos, over the Internet for playback on mobile devices and personal computers. The term podcast, like ‘radio’, can mean both the content and the method of delivery. Podcasts are already being used by savvy universities for marketing and recruitment. You can download them on an ‘ad hoc’ basis but more normally you would subscribe to a podcast like listening to a complete radio series.
You don’t need an iPod to listen to podcasts. However you will need a computer connected to the Internet to download and store your podcasts. An iPod or similar is only needed if you want to listen to podcasts on the move.

Seven radio producers – all based in the north of England – have joined forces to launch a new co-operative venture – ‘Radio Wizards’. It’s equally remarkable that their aim now is to work together on every kind of sound production... except radio!
"It’s taken over a year to get to this point," says ‘wizard’ Mike Thornton, "but now we’ve got a viable business plan, we’ve launched our website and we’re already starting to attract commissions. As a facilities provider we decided to facilitate this partnership and set them up with a web site to help kickstart this excellent partnership."
