The word podcasting is a combination of the words iPod and Broadcasting. In its most popular form, it is a way for people to be able to selectively subscribe to audio content over the Internet.

Note: You do not need an iPod to listen or view a podcast.
A Podcast is RSS content that you’ve subscribed to & is delivered via the Internet; then captured by a program known as a “podcatcher” or a “content aggregator” such as iTunes. Podcasting has been likened to TiVo because it empowers the consumer to listen or view their selected podcasts whenever they like, and on the go with an MP3 player.
