What is the difference between webcast, podcast, and webinar?

Question

can someone please explain the differences to me in terms of the delivery methods?

Answer 1

A webcast is a one-time showing of some video or audio. Sometimes it's live. You watch or listen on your computer.

A podcast is a show with episodes. It can be audio or video. You subscribe and then watch or listen on your computer, or you download episodes into a portable player.

A webinar is a web seminar. It can be educational, or it can be a sales pitch. It can be one-way or interactive. You watch it on your computer, or you go to a place where there is an interactive set-up where you can talk back and forth to the lecturer.
