Podcasting and vodcasting takes the concept that radio and television developed many years ago to a whole new level. Rather than tuning into a specific channel at a specific time and hoping to catch a favorite program, shows, talks, videos, and more can be downloaded from the Internet using RSS or Atom syndication and saved on a mobile device or personal computer for playback at the user's discretion.

The terms podcasting and vodcasting refer to both the content that can be downloaded as well as method of delivery. Often times, a podcast or vodcast features a show with new segments appearing at later (planned) times and their focus is to create content for a group of people who want to listen to a program or watch a show where, when, and how they choose.
