Podcasting is the method of distributing multimedia files, such as audio programs or music videos, over the Internet using either the RSS or Atom syndication formats, for playback on mobile devices and personal computers. The term podcast, like "radio," can mean both the content and the method of delivery. The host or author of a podcast is often called a podcaster. Though podcasters' web sites may also offer direct download or streaming of their files, a podcast is distinguished by its ability to be downloaded automatically using software capable of reading RSS or Atom feeds.
Usually a podcast features one type of “show,” with new episodes released either sporadically or at planned intervals such as daily or weekly. In addition, there are podcast networks that feature multiple shows on the same feed.
Even before the World of Warcraft was live, WoW Radio was on the air talking about the game. In time, other early podcasts started up like World of Warcast, Taverncast, and World of Podcast. Some of these early podcasts are still updating, some have changed subject matter, and others have podfaded. Today, Warcraft has over seventy active podcasts produced mostly in English but also French, Russian, Swedish, etc.
Popular WoW podcasts of note are: All Things Azeroth, Blue Plz!, Outlandish, The Instance, The Rawrcast Show, Twisted Nether Blogcast,and World of Warcast. All of these have received high acclaim from many organizations and some of them have come to the forefront of the most popular podcasts available today.
