Podcasts are audio programs that can be downloaded from the internet and played on a computer or mobile device. They’re usually episodic, meaning they’re released in installments, and many podcasts are free to listen to. Vodcasts are video podcasts, and they work in the same way as regular podcasts – you can subscribe to them and download them to your device to watch or listen to later but you can also view the people in them.

What is the Difference Between a Vodcast and a Video?
A Vodcast is essentially a podcast in video form, so things you’d be able to do in a podcast you would be able to do in a vodcast with the added value of being able to see the interactions that occur. Interviews are the typical version of this and so vodcasts normally show a host and a guest or guests being interviewed.
A video on the other hand could include anything. It could include animation, different changing scenarios, etc. This would not normally fall under the vodcast definition.
