What is a podcast?
A podcast is a digital audio or video program that is made available for streaming or downloading over the internet.
In simple terms, a podcast is like a radio or TV show that you can listen to or watch on the internet. It’s a series of episodes where people talk about different topics, like news, stories, interviews, or anything interesting. You can listen to them whenever you want, on your computer, phone, or other devices, and you don’t need a special gadget to do it. It’s a fun and convenient way to learn new things or be entertained.
