It’s name evokes images of some sort of sci-fi fly fishing, but podcasting may just be the next big thing in CLE. Think about all the wasted hours driving, sitting on a subway or waiting at an airport. What if that time could be used to listen to up-to-the-minute and substantive broadcasts covering news from your practice area or jurisdiction? Podcasting may soon make it possible.
The “pod” in this context refers not to alien life forms but to the Apple iPod portable music player. Simply put, podcasting is a way of distributing digital audio files, usually MP3 files, for playback in an iPod or other MP3 player. An iPod is not necessary to listen to podcasts � they can also be heard on computers or burned onto CDs.
