Podcast

 * A **podcast** is a collection of [|digital media] files distributed over the [|Internet]
 * The [|host] or [|author] of a podcast is often called a **podcaster**.
 * The term "podcast" is from the acronym "[|Pod]" – standing for "Portable on Demand" – and "[|broadcast]".
 * A podcast is distinguished from other digital media formats by its ability to be syndicated, subscribed to, and downloaded automatically when new content is added.

**Vodcast or Video Podcast**

 * online delivery of [|video on demand] [|video clip] content.
 * can be distributed as a [|file]file or as a [|stream]stream.
 * Downloading complete video podcasts in advance allows the videos to be watched many times with only one download, reducing bandwidth costs in this case.
 * Streaming allows seeking (skipping portions of the file) without downloading the full video podcast, better statistics and lower bandwidth costs for the servers; however, users may have to face pauses in playback caused by slow transfer speeds
