What is podcasting? (Answer) What is podcasting? (Collapse answer) Podcasting is a form of broadcasting audio or visual content over the Internet. You can listen to a podcast using a desktop computer, laptop, iPod or mp3 player, or other portable media device. What distinguishes podcasting from other kinds of audio and video on the Web is the organization and delivery of the files.
