Podcasting is the way to publish and distribute your thoughts across the web; any person can transmit audio files using RSS to the computers of subscribed user.  Many radio stations and some individuals do daily Podcast that can be listened to at any time by their users.  Some call Podcasting the DVR or TiVo of radio. 

Podcast are great to use in Physical Education.  Many PE teachers can use them to set up a lesson they would like to do the following day.  However, one-way I will like to use podcast is a soundtrack to my class.  I cannot only put music on the Pod can also put instructions.  For example, if I want to do a fifty-minute class in five-minute circuits, I can have the music switch every five minutes with the prerecorded instructions of what they are supposed to do.

The pros of a Pod cast are that students can here instructions without the teacher being there.  Therefore, students can listen to lessons at home if they miss a class.  Teachers can also use Podcast to make a soundtrack for their class.  The cons of Podcast are that the students need to have access to the internet and be able to use a computer.  The cons of teachers using Podcast is that they have to have an internet equipped classroom, and they have to be flexible enough to adapt incase there in classroom computer goes down.
