National Podcast Day is September 30th. Unlike radio shows, podcasts can provide specific, specialized content. Podcasts can be listened to “on demand.” Podcasts are easily produced and distributed via podcatchers. Listeners can subscribe via RSS feeds, notifying them when new episodes are available.
