a crisp way to describe the technology used to push audio content from websites down to consumers of that content, who typically listen to it on their iPod. It's usually a talk show or radiio show you can listen to on your ipod

A podcast is a multimedia file distributed over the Internet using syndication feeds, for playback on mobile devices and personal computers. The term, as originally coined by Ben Hammersley in an article in The Guardian February 12, 2004 [1], was meant as a portmanteau of "broadcasting" and "iPod".[2] Like 'radio', it can mean both the content and the method of delivery; the latter may also be termed podcasting. The host or author of a podcast is often called a podcaster.
By the way, why didn't you just Google that?

It's for your iPod (you can listen to them on iTunes too. It's kind of like the radio, but they're more like lectures and informative articles (spoken of course). Some examples of Podcasts are National Geographic (types of animals generally), there's 1 for SAT/ACT/GRE prep to improve your vocabulary, NPR: All songs considered, and Wall Street Journal.
