  • Podcasts and webcasts are becoming inexpensive and vital ways to share information, to learn and to expand businesses. Although both avenues of broadcasting information are available on the Internet, they are different.

    What is a Podcast?

    A podcast is a series of digital media files that can be digital voice or audio. You can download a podcast via Web syndication.

    What is a Webcast?

    A webcast is a media file available over the Internet that uses streaming media technology and is broadcast in real time.

    What's the Difference?

    The main difference between a podcast and a webcast is the syndication aspect of the delivery. A podcast is viewed on what is known as a podcatcher and downloaded directly to your computer. The podcast can be viewed at any time because it is downloaded onto your computer.

    Podcast Formats

    Podcasts are made available in Windows media format in these versions: .wmv, flash (.flv), flash (.mp4), and QuickTime (.mp4). The files in mp4 format are the same, but you can use the different media players (QuickTime, Adobe Flash Player and others) to view them.

    Webcast Requirements

    In order to view a webcast, you must have a broadband connection that is sustained throughout the webcast.
