A podcast is a digital medium consisting of an episodic series of audio, video, PDF, or ePub files subscribed to and downloaded through web syndication or streamed online to a computer or mobile device. The word is a neologism and portmanteau derived from "broadcast" and "pod" from the success of the iPod, as audio podcasts are often listened to on portable media players. Merriam Webster defines Podcast: a program made available in digital format for automatic download over the Internet A list of all the audio or video files associated with a given series is maintained centrally on the distributor's server as a web feed, and the listener or viewer employs special client application software, known as a podcatcher, that can access this web feed, check it for updates, and download any new files in the series. This process can be automated so that new files are downloaded automatically, which may seem to the user as if the content is being broadcast or "pushed" to them. Files are stored locally on the user's computer or other device ready for offline use, giving simple and convenient access to the content.

10 QUOTES WITH «PODCAST»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word podcast.

1

Scott Aukerman

Your average comedian doesn't know the podcast universe, really.

2

Scott Aukerman

Doing the podcast, the whole reason to do it is just because I can do whatever I want.

3

Kurt Braunohler

I pushed against doing a podcast for so long. I'm a very late comer to the podcast game. But you're responsibility as a comedian is to get your viewpoints out into the world, and we have a lot more avenues to do that. So it's a lot more opportunity, but really have to work all the time.

4

Chris DeWolfe

Podcasting is not really that different from streaming music, which we've done for quite a long time. Having a traditional podcast that people subscribe to - the hype is ahead of the quality. Podcasting is essentially a download, and you run into copyright issues. What you're left with currently is podcast talk radio.

5

Jeff Garlin

As an individual doing a podcast, you don't get even remotely rich. It's not something to do for money.

6

Chris Hardwick

You don't need 30 million people to listen to your podcast. If 10,000 people listen to your podcast, which is not a hard number to achieve, then 10,000 people are listening, and you can build a community, and literally change the world just recording into a microphone.

7

Gillian Jacobs

I like the 'Moth' podcast a lot. I listen to that.

8

Jay Mohr

Marc Maron's podcast success has nothing to do with my podcast success. If I do a quarter of a million downloads, I can show that to an advertiser as a fact, and that's that.

9

Jim O'Heir

I would love to do a podcast because I've done so many of them, guesting on them. Plus, anything goes, which I love.

10

Jeremy Robinson

Getting 10,000 listeners for a free podcast novel is a lot easier than selling 10,000 hardcover novels at $25 a pop.
