I've just discoverd the art of podcasts and wondering if there are other jam bands besides tea leaf green and umphreys mcgee with podcast. also, when you d/l a show from a torrent does it always come as one whole thing or is it broken up into the difffrent songs?
yes, a broadCAST to your iPOD= podcast. you can get news as well and some talk shows. great "get around the gatekeepers of information" stuff.
i thought podcasts were web streams....which cannot be downloaded onto an ipod. doesn't one need to be connected to the internet to listen to a podcast?
Podcasting From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Podcasting is the method of distributing multimedia files, such as audio or video programs, over the Internet using syndication feeds, for playback on mobile devices and personal computers. The term as originally coined by Ben Hammersley in an article in the Guardian on February 12, 2004 [1], was meant as a portmanteau of "broadcasting" and "iPod". The term podcast, like 'radio', can mean both the content and the method of delivery. The host or author of a podcast is often called a podcaster. Though podcasters' web sites may also offer direct download or streaming of their content, a podcast is distinguished from other digital audio formats by its ability to be downloaded automatically using software capable of reading feeds like RSS or Atom. travels with you.
