Podcast : a definition

The recent Pew report on podcasting has - as expected - generated quite a bit of buzz; much of which seems to contain rather odd definitions of a podcast. As pointed out on Podonomics, some of the definitions are not only long-winded, but inaccurate.

Keeping things short, simple and spot-on is Wikipedia, with the line :

A podcast is a multimedia file distributed over the Internet using syndication feeds, for playback on mobile devices and personal computers.

Beautiful.
