Podcasting

Podcasting referes to pushing an audio file via an RSS feed to listener who subscribes to that feed from a podcatching program such as iPodder, Doppler, or Jager.

The Podcast can be anything from a pre-recorded song to a polished audio show of your making.

It's snob for "streaming audio."

An online audio blog. Term invented by Adam Curry. A broadcast file which is commonly downloaded on an iPod or other MP3 hardware for mobile listening. Can also be played directly from your computer.

Any topic or situation that is worth turning into a podcast.

An audio or video file that is downloaded to a users computer (usally) automatically by using RSS or Live Bookmarks.
When a users enters a website that is linked to a podcast, they may see one or two orange icons, they may see xml or rss or a little circle with lines comming out from it. The user can subscribe to the RSS feed or "feed" by telling an RSS Reader to watch the RSS Feed and tell the user if there is an update, in which cast the user can download the Podcast.
The iTunes media player also has Podcast and RSS support built in, the user can go onto the "Podcast Directory" and select as many or as little podcast feeds as he or she wants. There are also other Podcast readers such as "Democracy TV".

Trend whore for "streaming audio."

Even more deserving of condescending laughter, I have even seen simple downloadable .mp3 files featuring opinionated human voice referred to as "podcasts."
