"A digital media file or collection of files that is distributed over the Internet. The files can then be played back on a computer or personal player (eg, an Ipod). The method by which podcasts are distributed is often called podcasting."
Postcasts can be made and listened to by basically anyone with access to a computer and ca be downloaded using software such as iTunes.
I am watching a podcast to evaluate what they can achieve. The podcast which i chose to watch was for a show called Ahead of the Curve, about accessorising your laptop/Notebook.
From this podcast i found out that the notebook that they are talking about has about 18hrs of battery life, and comes with a cordless mouse. Unlike other notebooks, this mouse can be attached to it for ease of transportation. The notebook also comes with an illuminating keyboard, which is very thin can be helpful if you are in a location with poor lighting. There are lots of new products also advertised for the laptop during this podcast, all of which are said to be 'lots of fun'. There is also a webcam available to accessorise your notebook with good focus and the ability to use its 'photo booth' and participate in iChats using your camera online.
These are a few screenshots taken from the podcast, to illustrate just how informative this podcast was:
From the podcast which i watched i have learnt many things, as you can see from the information i have written above. I managed to obtain all of this information in the 5 minute podcast ,therefore i believe podcasts achieve their purpose of educating and also entertaining viewers effectively.
