Podcasting uses an XML-based technology called RSS, or Really Simple Syndication.

What makes podcasting special is that it allows individuals to publish (podcast) radio shows,
that interested listeners can subscribe to. Before podcasting you could of course record a radio show and put it on your website, but now people can automatically receive new shows, without having to go to a specific site and download it from there. iTunes by Apple is one of the tools which allow you to find tons and tons of podcasts.
