A podcast is a digital media recording distributed across the Internet. Most podcasts to date are audio, but they can include images and video too. Podcasts can be played on a computer or any mobile device that plays .mp3 files, a common audio format. This includes ipods and other audio players, some PDAs and some cell phones. What a great way for your organization to distribute content that people can listen to in their cars and at the gym.
- Because podcasts are generally in an audio format, the content or information you choose to teach through podcasting must not require a visual component.
-
- Orientation to an organization, such as its mission and philosophy
- Foreign language basics
- Soft skills, such as how to improve listening or conflict resolution
- Recordings of live presentations
- That is, anyone with a microphone and a way to digitize their audio can create a podcast. This approach to learning can enable various experts throughout your organization to share their skills and knowledge.

There are several compelling reasons to try podcasting.
- The number of people using portable .mp3 players is growing
- Of course, the same sound principles of instructional design that you apply to all your training development should go into your podcast script
- The flow should be organized and logical. The writing should be clear and concise
- Terms should be defined.
