What are Podcasts?

Podcasts are audio or video files that one can download from the web; or more simply said, downloadable Internet radio shows or video programming. Although many people play them on portable devices (like the IPod, hence the name), one can also simply listen to a podcast on the computer. There are many fine podcasts about climate change. Try these and suggest more.
