Podcasts are handy in that the listener has the convenience of listening/watching the show at a time and place of their choosing - using a computer or a portable mp3 player.

A podcast is an audio or video file that is "distinguished from other digital-media formats by its ability to be subscribed to, and downloaded automatically when new content is added." wikipedia
