VoiceCast
Encyclopedia : V : VO : VOI : VoiceCast
VoiceCasting is the distribution of audio files, such as radio programs or interviews, directly to a telephone. The audio is taken from a Podcast, and played back live to a listener over the voice telephone network. At present, VoiceCasts are usually initiated when a listener dials a phone number associated with a specific Podcast.
VoiceCasts versus Podcasts, Mobilecasts, etc.
VoiceCasts are accessed immediately when a listener directly dials a phone number associated with a Podcast's content without any prior planning, from a mobile phone, traditional phone, or VoIP phone. Podcasts and Mobilecasts involve a listener subscribing to an Atom or RSS feed, which allows them to automatically download the audio content and either transfer it to a portable audio device or listen on their computer.
