[CS-FSLUG] Question About Podcasting

[David Aikema]

Typically with podcasting I think that there's some sort of RSS file
that is updated to reflect the latest shows.  Basically you can
subscribe to this RSS feed, and when the next show is released, if you
have the appropriate software, it will be automatically downloaded.

I can't say that I've paid much attention to this myself.  I suspect
that the average podcast by a "mere mortal" (ie. someone lacking
"celebrity" status) has an audience ranging from nonexistant to
miniscule.

FYI: There was a recent blurb,
http://christdot.org/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=6700,
relating to the usage of this by churches.
