What is RSS?
RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is an easy way to be alerted when new content appears on your favorite websites.
RSS-enabled sites have files called "RSS feeds" or "news feeds" that describe the latest updates to the site. RSS-enabled sites usually have an orange XML or RSS button to let you know that a feed is available.

What is podcasting?
A podcast is an RSS feed of audio files rather than text content, making it easy to load audio files from the Web and listen to them on iPods and other handheld devices that play MP3 files. Podcasting software allows you to have newly posted files automatically load to your iPod or handheld MP3 player. See http://juicereceiver.sourceforge.net/ for more about Podcasting and the Podcasting software, Juice.
