THE PODCAST AS A NEW PODIUM
Source: NYTimes
There are times where most of us would have thought bizzare on hearing the jargon "Podcasting". What really does this podcasting means?. This part of the blog is an extract from the NewYorkTimes article on Podcasting. I am herewith presenting some very valuable points. I personally encourage everyone to have a glance on the original article.
Podcasts (BroadCasting + iPod) are little radio shows that people create on the cheap; you can download them at no cost from the Web, and listen to them whenever you want. The term can be misleading since neither podcasting nor listening to podcasts requires an iPod or any portable music player.
More substantial radio shows, like ones from NPR or CNN, also show up in reruns in podcast form. If you miss a show you like on broadcast radio, you can often fetch it from the Web and listen to it at your leisure. All podcasts can be downloaded from their Web sites, or with particular ease from iTunes, Apple's popular media player.
Person's can listen to new music or independent talk radio in a car or in the gym, where podcasts are most enjoyable.

Divisions in PodCasts:
The first includes the programs of weird monologists and couples capering, complaining and exposing their personal lives in ostentatiously appalling ways. They can be funny.
The second category is for talk shows about technology, from which you learn genuinely useful things, including that MapQuest.com is over, and that serious direction-seekers now turn to Google Maps. And then there are
The third is podcasts from abroad, including a good esoteric music podcast from Scotland, and an eccentric Roman Catholic one, which is produced by a priest in the Netherlands.
The article too has some references to good podcasting portals in some category, which are worth a try.
