Interested in podcasting?

Here's some information and places to start:

Podcasting basically means to distribute or syndicate audio files online using RSS technology.
"RSS" stands for "real simple syndication" or "rich site summary."
Think of it like an online radio station.
End users can suscribe to regularly updated audio content, and then listen to whatever, whenever, wherever.
It's very portable. You can can listen to podcasts on your computer, via a smart phone, or through a digital media player.
Why all the buzz about podcasts? *You* have the control over what you listen to (it's like building your own audio newspaper), and there's a lot of variety, everything from independent to mainstream content, entertainment to technical information.
