What is Podcasting?

A podcast is a series of digital media files, either audio or video, that is released episodically and downloaded through Web syndication. The mode of delivery is what differentiates podcasts from other ways of accessing media files over the Internet, such as simple download or streamed Web casts: special client software applications known as podcatchers (like iTunes, Zune, Juice, and Winamp) are used to automatically identify and download new files in the series when they are released by accessing a centrally-maintained Web feed that lists all files associated with the series. New files can thus be downloaded automatically by the podcatcher and stored locally on the user's computer or other device for off-line use, giving simpler access to episodic content.

Like the term broadcast, podcast can refer either to an ongoing series or episodes of a particular program. A podcaster is the person who creates the content.

The DeliverTheWord.com Difference!

DeliverTheWord.com provides these services on-line without the influence of advertisements or promotions, while screening all content before it is published by the means of Moderators and as a another precautionary measure will use community features to filter out inappropriate content "after-the-fact." This site places restrictions on the content, subject matter and format of items used to comprise any Podcasting item. This site will NOT tolerate adult material and seeks to keep it out of ALL available pool of content.

Podcasting LandingSpots must be monitored by at least one Moderator during creation and additions so that appropriate media are placed on the desired Podcasting in a timely manner. If a Moderator is not available or unable to attend to the addition of media at any given time, posters will have to wait until an appropriate Moderator is located to moderate that specific Podcasting item being utilized.

Moderator Distinction

This site and its Board Moderators makes final judgment calls on what qualifies as inappropriate content. Many services have options for private sharing and other publication options, DeliverTheWord.com will only allow verified users access of content posted within each respective LaunchPad, ReplacementActivator, LandingSpot and Moderated area.

Illegal sharing and distribution fraud have become major issues in the Podcasting market. DeliverTheWord.com issues a warning of the dangers of posting Podcasting content to public Web sites, hence the reason our Podcasting upload and maintenance areas are private and locked.

Podcasts are established for use with iTunes specifically and may be expanded to other services as those capabilities are built out and discovered.
