6. What's the difference between a Podcast and a Webinar?

Webinar: any live sharing of monitors, web-cams, or audio.

While a podcast is usually pre-recorded, webinars might contain live broadcasting or share a live transmission through a virtual network. VPN or remote-desktop is essentially a 1-on-1 Webinar. Skype, GoToMeeting, AdobeCONNECT - they all allow for simultaneous transmission of more than one stream.

So... Does a "webcast" encompass pre-recorded media streamed during live web interactivity?
