Podcasting is a way to get content from the internet. The content can be either audio or video. With podcasting your computer automatically finds and downloads new content as it is added. For example, if you subscribe to the BYU Broadcasting Most Recent Talks feed, your computer will download the most recent talks as we make them available.
