"What is podcasting?"

It's a way to broacast, by the web, everything you want. So the great deal is that you can speak about anything.
Historicaly, Podcasting is a portmanteau of Apple's "iPod" and "broadcasting". At least, it is a method of publishing files to the Internet, allowing users to subscribe to a feed and receive new files automatically by subscription, usually at no cost. It first became popular in late 2004, used largely for audio files.
Everyone, frustrated by his boring grey life, can be the tomorrow brand new star of the Net with this technology. It's of course a mirage, build up on this nowadays hedonist philosophy, where the celebrity is the main objective on all entire lives. That is, from my point of view, a bit useless, but I guess that it will improve our lives.
Therefore, there are some interesting podcast, but they are made by professionnals. So except the streaming innovations, it is not so far from classical media, as for example radio or TV.
Check it out, take care.
