Podcast

A podcast is a multimedia file that is distributed by subscription (paid or unpaid) over the Internet using syndication 
feeds, for playback on mobile devices and personal computers. Like radio, it can mean both the content and the method 
of broadcast. The latter may also be termed podcasting. The host or author of a podcast is often called a podcaster.

Though podcasters web sites may also offer direct download or streaming of their content, a podcast is distinguished from 
other digital audio formats by its ability to be downloaded automatically using software capable of reading feed formats 
such as RSS or Atom.

      <link>http://www.publicbroadcasting.net/kplu/news.newsmain?action=article&amp;ARTICLE_ID=1282935</link>
      <description>Discount retailers and grocers are usually considered   safe-havens in times of economic downturn - their stock goes up when money is tight.  But analysts are split on whether Issaquah-based Costco Wholesale is a good stock to hang on to right now.  That&apos;s the topic of this week&apos;s chat with our financial commentator, Greg Heberlein.    He spoke with KPLU business and labor reporter Bellamy Pailthorp.</description>

      <description>When Washington Mutual shareholders met this week in Seattle, C-E-O Kerry Killinger asked them to show a little faith.  Instead, he saw a lot of anger.  The nation&apos;s largest thrift lost three billion dollars in the past six months, and is expected to lose billions more in the near future.

      <link>http://www.publicbroadcasting.net/kplu/news.newsmain?action=article&amp;ARTICLE_ID=1257814</link>
      <description>Seattle-based Washington Mutual has been hit hard by the sub-prime loan crisis.  The bank lost more than a billion dollars to bad loans in the first quarter of this year, and more losses are expected.  The company is closing all 186 of its home loan centers around the country and cutting three-thousand jobs.    WaMu holds its annual shareholder meeting next Tuesday.  Financial commentator Greg Heberlein would love to ask a few questions at that meeting.  He shares them with KPLU&apos;s Dave Meyer.</description>
