Podcasting: A portmanteau of Apple's "iPod" and "broadcasting", is a method of publishing files to the Internet, allowing users to subscribe to a feed and receive new files automatically by subscription, usually at no cost.

Rss: Rich Site Summary or RDF [Resource Description Framework] (Really Simple Syndication) Site Summary. An XML format for sharing content among different Web sites such as news items.
