Podcast

• Podcasting, a portmanteau of Apple's "iPod" and
  "broadcasting", 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.
