Syndicated news feeds are a way of supplying news directly to a reader, without the need for a browser.

What is RSS?

RSS, is a way of delivering content efficiently, and is quickly becoming the defacto standard for providing information on most major websites such as the BBC.

RSS is a format for syndicating news and the content of news-like sites, including major news sites like Wired, news-oriented community sites like Slashdot, and personal weblogs. But it's not just for news. Pretty much anything that can be broken down into discrete items can be syndicated via RSS: the "recent changes" page of a wiki, a changelog of CVS checkins, even the revision history of a book. Once information about each item is in RSS format, an RSS-aware program can check the feed for changes and react to the changes in an appropriate way.

By subsribing to an RSS feed you are able to stay up to date with the latest additions to a website via it's feed.

What is a Podcast?

A Podcast is in principle an advancement of an RSS feed. In more detail, a Podcast can be seen as an RSS feed with an attached MP3 audio file that could be a recorded "radio show", and is playable in most media players.

Podcasting is a term used to describe a collection of technologies for automatically distributing audio programs over the Internet using a publisher/subscriber model.
