Podcast takes its name from Apple's popular iPod line of products and broadcast, which refers to radio or TV. Check this out! iPOD + broadCAST = PODCAST.
The good thing about podcasting is that it is not only limited to iPod owners and listeners, but it is available to any Internet user at any time by just downloading the audio or video archives into and Ipod or Mp3, Mp4 player.
Podcasts were made available to people by installing a media aggregator program in their computers, iTunes for instance, also called a "podcatcher", and the application captures the audio feeds from the Internet for downloading to the music player. There are different ways to do a Podcast and there are many sites where you can try podcasting, such as Podbean or Snapvine.
Now you will have the opportunity to create a podcast (or podcasts) using Snapvine. We will use this site because it is free and very easy to use.
Here you have an example of what we will be doing to practice our speaking abilities.
Would you like to do something like this?
