A **podcast** is a series of [|digital media] [|files] (either [|audio] or [|video]) that are released episodically and [|downloaded] through [|web syndication]. The mode of delivery is what differentiates podcasts from other ways of accessing media files over the [|Internet], such as simple download or [|streamed] [|webcasts]: special [|client] [|software] applications known as //podcatchers// (like [|iTunes], [|Zune], [|Juice], and [|Winamp]) are used to automatically identify and download new files in the series when they are released by accessing a centrally-maintained [|web feed] that lists all files associated with the series. New files can thus be downloaded automatically by the podcatcher and stored locally on the user's [|computer] or other device for [|offline] use, giving simpler access to episodic content.
