A podcast is a series of digital media files that are released episodically and downloaded by users,^[1] theoretically to be played on an iPod (hence the name), though in fact they can be played on many other devices.

Fans jumped on the podcasting bandwagon after it became popular in the mid 2000s. Fannish podcasts can contain news, commentary, interviews, readings of fanfiction, or some combination of these.

Some examples of fannish podcasts include Snapecast and Slashcast.
