Podcasting

Definition:

Podcasting is a method of publishing audio programs via the Internet, allowing users to subscribe to a feed of new files (usually MP3s). It became popular in late 2004, largely due to automatic downloading of audio onto portable players or personal computers (i.e iPods). Podcasting is distinct from other types of online media delivery because of its subscription model, which uses a feed (such as RSS or Atom) to deliver an enclosed file. Podcasting enables independent producers to create self-published, syndicated "radio shows," and gives broadcast radio programs a new distribution method.  (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podcasting)

iTunes added support for Podcasting in version 4.9.  You can download the most recent version of iTunes at:
