-'''Podcasting''' is a term coined in 2004 when the use of [[RSS_(file_format) |RSS]] [[Web_syndication |syndication]] technologies became popular for distributing audio content for listening on mobile devices and personal computers. A podcast is a [[web feed]] of audio or video files placed on the Internet for anyone to subscribe to. Podcasters' websites also may offer direct download of their files, but the subscription feed of automatically delivered new content is what distinguishes a podcast from a simple download or real-time [[streaming media|streaming]] (see below).

-Use of "podcast" to describe both audio and video feeds seemed natural to some users, while others preferred to reserve the word for audio and coin new terms for video subscriptions. Other "pod-" derived neologisms include "podcasters" for individuals or organizations offering feeds, and "[[podcatchers]]" for special RSS [[news aggregators|aggregators]] with the ability to transfer the files to media player software or hardware.

 == Podcasting versus broadcasting and streaming ==
 Subscribing to podcasts allows a user to collect programs from a variety of sources for listening or viewing offline at whatever time and place is convenient to the user. In contrast, traditional broadcasting provides only one source at a time, and the time is broadcaster-specified.
-"[[streaming media|Streaming]]" files from the Internet can remove the specified-time restriction, but still offers only one source at a time, and requires the user to be connected to the Internet while playing the files. The ability to "[[news aggregator |aggregate]]" programs from multiple sources is a major part of the attraction of podcast-listening.

 Unlike podcasts, streaming also can be used to broadcast live events over the Internet at the moment they occur.
-Although streamed programs, like broadcast radio signals, can be recorded or captured by the receiver, their transient nature distinguishes them from podcast episodes, which arrive already in archived form.  (This difference may make a podcast legally distinct from a [[webcast]] or streamed media file.)
