Pod Cast distributes multimedia files (audio programs or music videos) over the Internet using either the RSS or Atom syndication formats, for playback on MP3 players, I Pods, and personal computers. A podcast has the ability to be downloaded automatically using software capable of reading RSS or Atom feeds. Neither podcasting nor listening to podcasts requires an iPod or other portable player, and no over-the-air broadcasting is required.
