online series of audio episodes
A set of audio or video shows on the internet that you can listen to or watch when you want, often about one main topic.
Patrón de uso:
a podcast about [something]
Error frecuente:
Learners sometimes say *"I listened a podcast"* instead of *"I listened to a podcast"*. Another common mistake is using *in* instead of *on* for appearances, e.g. *"I talked in a podcast"* instead of *"I talked on a podcast"*. Some learners also think a podcast must be only audio; in modern English, it can also be video.

one podcast episode
One show in a podcast series, usually one file that you can play or download.
Error frecuente:
Learners sometimes confuse *podcast* (one file or show) with *podcast episode*. In casual speech, many native speakers also say *podcast* to mean one episode, but in careful speech, *podcast* is the whole show and *episode* is one part of it.
Sinónimos
episode (General term for one part of a series; it does not say that it belongs to a podcast unless the context makes that clear.)
Antónimos
series (Refers to the complete set of episodes, the whole show, rather than one individual podcast file.)

to create and publish podcasts
To make audio or video shows and put them online as a podcast for people to listen to or watch.
Patrón de uso:
[someone] podcasts about [something]
Error frecuente:
Learners sometimes say *"make podcast"* without *a* or *episodes*, e.g. *"I want to make podcast"* instead of *"I want to make a podcast"* or *"I want to podcast"*. Some learners also treat *podcast* only as a noun and do not realize it can be used as a verb, especially in informal tech and media contexts.
Sinónimos
broadcast (A broader term for sending out audio or video; often used for radio or TV and does not necessarily imply on‑demand internet distribution like podcasting does.)
Antónimos
