Podcasting from Space

An anonymous reader writes "Podcasting has officially made it into orbit! According to a Geekzone article, Mission Specialist Steve Robinson delivered a short monologue off the southeast tip of Indonesia in which he described the morale of the Discovery crew at the end of their well-publicized mission: 'It's been a fantastic mission up here, absolutely amazing. Some of the hardest work that any of us have ever done. We haven't had a whole lot of sleep, and we've been extremely busy and really happy.' A transcript of the podcast as well as the MP3 itself can be found at Nasa's site."

What is podcasting?
New NASA technology?
Something like blogs.

A Podcast has a RSS feed (or Atom feed, whatever) that you can subscribe to to tell you when there's a new mp3. That's it. That's the difference.
Which would make this not a podcast. It would make it an "audio recording".
