==or [|video] [|digital media] files which are distributed over the [|Internet] by [|syndicated] [|download], through [|Web feeds], to [|portable media players] and [|personal computers]. Though the same content may also be made available by direct download or [|streaming], a podcast is distinguished from most other digital media formats by its ability to be syndicated, subscribed to, and downloaded [|automatically] when new content is added. Like the term //[|broadcast]//, //podcast// can refer either to the series of content itself or to the method by which it is syndicated; the latter is also called **podcasting**. The host or [|author] of a podcast is often called a **podcaster**. (taken from wikipedia)==
