[Cialug] Pod Casting

[laith]

audio shows syndicated via RSS/xml feeds

called podcasting because the iPod was very involved in the early days 
of this version of things and the name stuck.

Basically nothing new as many people have been recording mp3 content for 
download for years. Just the syndication methods and cheap 
bandwith/players have made it much easier.

Personally I am subscribed to a number of feeds at my office and listen 
to them instead of radio.
