| Anyone give me a short explanation of podcasting? |

| Can anyone give me a short, easily understood explanation of "podcasting" - what it is, how it works, what's the advantage? I've read the term a lot lately, and guess it's related somehow to the iPod, but I thought an iPod was something to carry music around in. No, I don't have one. Yes, I do have a vcr and dvd player/recorder, and can program them. I obviously can use a computer. Other than that, I'm not much interested in the latest technology; what I already have is paid for. I'm trying to get a handle on this for a possible work project. I know there are a lot of Ranters who know about these things - thanks for your help.

| #5 Thanks, .com. Knew I could count on you. I e-mailed the link to work - I'll look at it there. (You may wonder why I didn't go to Wiki myself. It's not that I don't trust it - exactly - but I'd rather someone who actually knows something tells me the info there is OK. Who, me - paranoid? Why do you ask? ;-p ) |

| #4 BTW, here is a favicon I made for Rantburg, if you want to replace the "plain page" mini-icon in your bookmarks. |

| #3 I'm all in favor of the occasional techno-thingy on Rantburg. The folks here are generally knowledgeable, relatively courteous, and probably pick up some of the more interesting oddities out there more than not. Just today I learned about "bookmarklets", and got some that might be appreciated. In 2005, learned about RSS--which is a major help in contributing to Rantburg. I'm sure there's a bunch more that exist but get missed out of sheer luck. Podcasting, for example, which is new to me. |

| #1 Heh, Barbara... More than you ever wanted to know - from Wiki, of course. |
