The folks at LordPercy, tackle the podcasting definition
A Podcast consists of high resolution MP3 or other audio files wrapped in a RSS feed, RSS or really simple scripting is widely used on the web as a means to create news feeds or product updates that can be read by browsers and other websites.
RSS 2.0 is used to underpin Podcasting by the use of the enclosures tag, the RSS feed is exactly the same XML code as the one you can get BBC news through except that the enclosure tag is used to point at media files (in this case audio). A Podcasting client such as Ipodder reads the RSS feed which is made available on a website URL and downloads the files highlighted by the enclosure tag in the background, as soon as all the files are ready the new Podcast is shows as available in the client.
