What is the diff between podcasting and webcasting ?
600072
The term "podcasting" is a portmanteau of the words iPod and broadcasting. Although an iPod is currently the playback device of choice for many early adopters of podcasting, a portable music player is not required to take advantage of this method of content distribution. Podcasting is functionally similar to the use of timeshift-capable digital video recorders (DVRs), such as TiVo, which let users record and store television programs for later viewing.\n\nA podcast is much like an audio magazine subscription: a subscriber receives regular audio programs delivered via the internet, and she or he can listen to them at her or his leisure.\n\nPodcasts differ from traditional internet audio in two important ways. In the past, listeners have had to either tune in to web radio on a schedule, or they have had to actively download individual files from webpages. Podcasts are more flexible and much easier to get. They can be listened to at any time because a copy is on the listener's computer or portable music player, and they are automatically delivered to subscribers, so no active downloading is required. (From Wikipedia)\n\nThe word webcast is derived from "web" and "broadcast". Its use has varied over the past decade by different types of organisation and as the nature of the medium came into public use.

You would essentially just need a microphone to capture input, software to record on, and the ability to create an RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feed to distribute it to other users. There are many free and premium tools that can help you along the way.

The answer, as is the answer to most single-line questions, is 'Depends'.\n\nIf you are using a Mac, the included Garageband application is more than enough to produce a podcast.  It's what I use for the White Collar Ruckus Podcast at http://whitecollarruckus.libsyn.com\n\nFor a PC platform, there are similar multi-track audio applications that you could use, like Goldwave.\n\nFor publishing, it's your choice, but there are a few services out there that will host your files and produce the XML code for the RSS feed for your podcast.  If you do not go with one of these 'out of the box' companies, you will have to arrange hosting for your files and write your own RSS feed enclosures.  Ask me not how to do this, for I do not know.\n\nWhite Collar Ruckus\nhttp://whitecollarruckus.libsyn.com

From wikipedia...\n\n"Podcasting is the distribution of audio or video files, such as radio programs or music videos, over the Internet using either RSS or Atom syndication for listening on mobile devices and personal computers."\n\nIn other words, you download an audio or video file, usually of some sort of broadcast, to your ipod or other listening device. \n\nThe term itself comes from "podcasting", which is a portmanteau that combines iPod and broadcasting.

Podcasting is a new form of on-demand streaming media. Just like you can watch cable shows on-demand you can watch/listen to a podcast through iTunes and other software like iPodder. The podcast amounts to a media file and XML Syndication file. The medica file (MP3, MOV) is stored on a server so that it is available to the public. The XML file basically explains where to go to get the media file and provides some Meta Data about the Podcast (Description, Title, etc)

The big difference is the thruput that Dual channel gives you. That only really happens when you you're running MASSIVE Data crunching on your computer. If you're doing basic web browsing and document creation, you'll see almost no difference.

Nothing, that's the way live/streaming video usually does. It depends on your computer's speed, but more importantly, on the internet connection bandwidth. Could also be how fast the broadcasting/hosting company's servers are.

I'm pretty sure that a podcast has to have an RSS feed in order to iTunes to be able to detect when new material is posted.  That being said, probably the best way that you can find the URL of an RSS feed is to sign up for Google Reader.  Google Reader enables  you to subscribe to any website with an RSS feed and then delivers new content to your desktop.  But, that's not what you're going to use it for, at least not in the context of your inquiry here.\n\nOnce you have signed up for Google Reader, go into Google Reader and do a search for new content, and enter 'fm104'.  If there is an RSS feed for it, and there should be if it is a podcast and lists on iTunes, then Google Reader will display it and you can cut and paste it to wherever you need to.\n\nFor instance, the RSS feed of The White Collar Ruckus Podcast is:\nhttp://whitecollarruckus.libsyn.com/rss\nHave you tried entering www.fm104.ie/rss and seeing if that's the RSS feed?  In any case, the Google Reader should be able to determine what the feed is.
