2. What is Podcasting
 Podcasting is a digital recording of a
radio broadcast or program that is made
available on the Internet. This recording
is downloaded to a digital audio file that is
created, shared, and heard.
 Podcasts can contain a mixture of
voices, music, sounds, videos and
photos. Podcasts are portable or can
reside on MP3 players and can go any
where. Podcasts can range in length
from a few minutes to a few hours.

3. Two types of Podcasts
