*A podcast is a digital audio or video series made available for streaming or download, typically released in episodic installments and structured around a specific theme, host, or narrative arc. While originally rooted in audio-only formats, the definition has evolved to fully encompass video podcasts, which integrate synchronized video recordings of the hosts, and guests alongside the traditional episodic audio distribution.
