4. Yes and you can download audio files. . .

. . .the most popular use up until now has been for music, but there is a lot of "Podcasting" in which people are making their radio shows, TV shows and original programming available to iPod users.

And, how much space does a radio show use up on an iPod? Can you keep several?

5. Okay, I will ask it --

What is Podcast and where do you find them.

I use an iPod for audible books, and for music which I take from my CD's. Please enlighten. Thank you.

7. Here is the info

Freedom is as good as it sounds. Imagine listening to your favorite talk show on a spur-of-the-moment bike ride. Hearing movie reviews in line at the box office. Catching the 11:00 news at 6:33. Imagine never again missing the unmissable. Choose the time. Choose the place. Choose the show. Save for later or listen now. Podcasting makes it possible. iTunes makes it easy.

Radio Is Finally Free

Podcasting is radio your way. Defy programming schedules and listen to whatever you want, whenever you want — and on your iPod — wherever you want. Podcasts are radio-style shows — some from major media, others from passionate individuals — delivered over the Internet to your computer. Unlike streaming audio, which requires you to listen in real time, podcasting lets you control how and when you hear your favorite shows.

Cast of Thousands

Until now, searching for podcasts was like scanning for radio stations in a strange city — except you’d be browsing thousands of podcasts in a teeming metropolis called the Internet. And if you wanted to subscribe to a podcast, well, you needed additional software to keep everything up to date. There had to be an easier way. Enter iTunes and iPod, with built-in podcast support.

Welcome to the Golden Age of Podcasting

Now you can easily find and subscribe to free podcasts from one of the largest directories on the web — the iTunes Podcast Directory . Featuring over 15,000 free podcasts from favorites such as ABC News, Adam Curry, ESPN, KCRW and more, the Podcast Directory puts all the best podcasts in one place. Once you subscribe to a podcast, iTunes automatically checks for updates and downloads new episodes to your computer. When you sync your iPod , all your podcasts come along for the ride. You get on-demand radio, delivered automatically. All from the world’s best digital jukebox.

10. It's just a recorded audio file put out on the net

...by individual(s) and can contain commentary and/or music that you can download and listen on your computer or mp3 player. It can be a few seconds to an hour (or more) long.

It's billed as something that anybody can produce and put out there i.e if your computer has a built in mic and contain some redumentary audio recording app, you can make a podcast and upload it to the world. I think that for the most part, its a free download - haven't heard anyone charging a price or asking for a subscription fee to listen to these things - although, it wouldn't surprise me if that changes in the near future.

HTH.
