The word "podcasting" is a portmanteau combining the words "broadcasting" and "iPod". The most popular format of a podcast is MP3. MP3 is one of the most popular audio encoding formats today when it comes to music. Most music files that you find are in mp3, and companies prefer it because it helps reduce data amount. That also makes it one of the best ways for audio transmission during Podcasting.
