What is a podcast?

[hawkida]

I'd like you to tell me what you understand a podcast to be, please. This is a result of a recent conversation leading to intrigue on my part. Comments will be screened in the short term to avoid bias in answers caused by reading other people's responses. I'll unscreen them and do an update with explanation at a later date.

I may find I need to rephrase this later for more honed responses, but I'm hoping not.

I'm not sure your comment screening is working?

No, it's bloody not... gah.

Oh, everyone else got a lot more technical than me. I don't know how they work in that way; I just replied with what I (who is not techy in that way) would expect from one.

Yeah, you weren't meant to be able to see them, though. Hopefully fixed now.
