What is a Podcast?

A podcast is audio you can download and listen to with a digital audio player. Podcasting is a way of publishing audio files to the Internet, allowing users to download files to their audio player. The name "podcasting" is derived from two words - Apple's "iPod" and "broadcasting." Although Apple's iPod is today's industry standard, other digital audio players can also play podcasts, as well as computers with the appropriate software.

Although podcasting is a relatively new trend, there are already a large number of podcasts available on the Net. Some podcasts are commercially produced, while many others are self-produced. The advantage of podcasts is that you can listen to content whenever and wherever you want. Currently, there are few military-related podcasts available. Hopefully, as the trend grows, more will become available. Military-related podcasts are listed to the right.

We will be happy to list, and even host, military-related podcasts. Please contact us for more information.
