An audioblog, also known as podcasting, is a recorded broadcast that can cover any topic and is saved on a computer and posted online, often through a blog. It can be recorded using various techniques and edited for a professional quality. Recordings are saved in audio file formats such as MP3 and WAV and presented to listeners in downloadable or streaming formats.

An audioblog is an individual recording that can be shared over the Internet and is often referred to as podcasting. An audioblog is recorded using a variety of techniques and can cover any topic imaginable. Often some modifications are needed to make the production flow right. These recordings are saved on a computer and posted online, often through a blog. Users can listen to these broadcasts in two popular formats.

An audioblog is similar to a written blog because the author can cover anything from entertainment to politics to family to anything in between. Many computers come with recording devices that allow the blogger to talk directly into the computer to record a blog. Other systems require computer software and a microphone to be installed to properly record a blog. Some bloggers and podcasters record broadcasts separately using digital recording devices similar to cassette decks.

Some of these blogs are presented exactly as recorded, but others are edited to give a professional quality similar to a radio broadcast. Using digital editing software, users often crop out unwanted material and segments for reasons of time and quality. Other editing techniques allow users to add music and sound effects that help the flow of a podcast, thus making them more enjoyable for listeners.

Recordings are saved in a variety of audio file formats, including MP3 and WAV, depending on the capabilities of the blog where the work is posted. Many recordings are featured on a personal blog of the creator. Additionally, there are many outlets for podcasts on a variety of topics for audio bloggers to share their work.

An audioblog is presented to listeners in two basic formats, namely as a downloadable MP3 or as a streaming audio file. Each provides the listener with a variety of controls over how information is taken, and many podcast providers offer both options. An MP3 is preferred by some for the versatility it offers; the blog can be downloaded to a personal computer and listened to later on either a computer or a personal listening device such as an iPod. Streaming content attracts listeners who are hesitant to download files, especially if they are not familiar with the source of the files. Streaming allows you to open your podcast online and play it in real time through a web browser, so you don’t need to download it.
