What is a Podcast? A podcast is an audio recording of a hosts voice speaking a subject that is designed to be delivered in an on-demand manor. Typically podcasts are managed by an app on ones smart phone and when a new episode is added to a channel you are subscribed to it is automatically downloaded.

One of the functions of the Media Creation Lab is that of a Podcast Studio. The space is equipped with a variety of equipment that can accommodate any form of a Podcast.
