What is a Podcast?

A friend of mine once desribed podcasting saying, “it’s kinda like TiVo for our pastor’s sermons…”

According to Weblogs.com:

Podcasting is a new way to create and listen to radio. [A since removed Wikipedia article] describes, “Podcasting is a way of publishing files to a website that allows users to subscribe to the site and receive new files as they are posted. Most podcasts are spoken word audio created by individuals, often on a particular theme such as technology or movies. Because new files are downloaded automatically by subscribers, podcasting allows individuals to have a self-published, syndicated radio show.”

In our case, the theme is Trey’s Sermons. :-)

Wikipedia has a list of podcatchers (an application used to listen to a podcast). Using any of these applications, you can hear Trey’s sermon whenever you want!

Our podcast is included in our site’s RSS feed, and in the iTunes Store.

But here again for easy reference is the link:
