Podcasts are communication tools that can be streamed live or recorded. They can be listened to via portable media players such as cell phones, MP3 players, or computers. They can be in either audio or audio-visual format. As opposed to radio broadcasts, podcasts can be downloaded and accessed at any time, and can be paused, replayed, rewound, or fast-forwarded, making them especially appealing to individual consumers. Certain podcasts are done regularly, while others are unique events conceived and created to discuss and raise awareness about a specific issue, topic, or event.
