What's the difference between a podcast and an audiobook?

An audiobook is a recording of a book being read while a podcast is serialized content. In more detail: an audiobook is a recording of a book being read, usually by a professional or commissioned reader, stored in a digital file format. This term is the computer evolution of the concept of "books on tape".

Podcasts are usually serialized content produced on a periodic basis around a theme. Podcasts generally always include audio and may include video. Video Podcasts seem to be more prevalent than Audio Podcasts, but there is no rule in the definition that it must contain video.

Podcasts are usually commentary on a topic such as (but not limited to) current technology, politics, science, hobbies, and personal affairs. Podcasts are typically distributed through RSS feeds. Most people know you can subscribe through iTunes, but there are other tool you can use as well.

Podcasts and Audiobooks are sometimes similarly grouped because some MP3 players have a special feature that applies to both podcasts and audiobooks, but not to music. This feature is called Passive Bookmarking. It basically keeps a constant record of where you are in the podcast or audio book playback.

Then, if you listen to something else and come back to that podcast or audiobook, you can resume where you left off (the bookmark) instead of playing from the beginning. It is called "passive" because the device knows to keep a bookmark just because the file is an audiobook or podcast and you the user don't have to do anything special.

No. A podcast is audio and video. An audiobook is only audio.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
