Blogcasts

Blogcasts (a.k.a. podcasts) are audio recordings of individuals that are typically experts in their field of work or study, unlike your typical radio host. They are a relatively new form of communication, but the delivery style is taken directly from radio formats. However, instead of the typical half hour or hour long radio show, the length is highly variable. Once the blogcast is recorded it edited and compressed and then posted to a Web site or blogcast portal where it can be downloaded for use on a personal digital assistant or PDA, smartphone or iPod.
