The term podcast, like broadcast, can refer either to the series of content itself or to the method by which it is syndicated; the latter is also called podcasting.
Nagu ka termin „broadcast“ võib ka „podcast“ viidata kas materjalide hulgale või meetodile, millega neid materjale üheaegselt avaldatakse – seda viimast nimetatakse ka „podcastinguks“.
