What is a podcast?
Podcasting is the method of distributing multimedia files, such as audio programs or music videos, over the Internet using either the RSS or Atom syndication formats, for playback on mobile devices and personal computers. The term podcast like ' radio ', can mean both the content and the method of delivery. The host or author of a podcast is often called a podcaster. Podcasters' web sites may also offer direct download or streaming of their files; a podcast however is distinguished by its ability to be downloaded automatically using software capable of reading RSS or Atom feeds.
Usually a podcast features one type of 'show', with new episodes released either sporadically or at planned intervals such as daily or weekly. In addition, there are podcast networks that feature multiple shows on the same feed.

If two guys sit in a small room and talk about movies without recording it – did the conversation actually take place? Floating far away from the harsh glare of Hollywood's bright spotlight, Morgan Dingle and Jono Hall review films, discuss movie news and probably get more excited than is polite over scripts, starlets and everything in-between.
