__**What Is a Podcast?**__ Podacts are named after Apple's iPod; Apple is the one who controls the most popular listenings. Podcasts are basically a free internet radio show that ranges in a variety of topics.

Podcasts allow the subscirber to decide what content he/she receives, whereas, traditional radio doesn't. They are very beneficial to the subsciber because the user can easily recieve information he/she would like, and listen to it when they want. Wheras with traditional radio you don't get that opportunity.
