Podcast
A podcast is an episodic series of digital audio or video files which a user can download and listen to. It is often available for subscription, so that new episodes are automatically downloaded via web syndication to the user's own local computer, mobile application, or portable media player. It is distinct from Internet radio, which involves streaming rather than downloading. The word originated as a portmanteau of "iPod" (a brand of media player) and "broadcast". The files distributed are in audio format, but may sometimes include other file formats such as PDF or EPUB. Videos which are shared following a podcast model are called video podcasts or vodcasts.
History of podcasting
Podcasting, first known as "audioblogging", has its roots dating back to the 1980s. With the advent of broadband internet and portable digital audio playback devices such as the iPod, podcasting began to catch hold in late 2004. Today there are more than 115,000 English-language podcasts available on the internet, and dozens of websites available for distribution at little or no cost to the producer or listener. According to one survey in 2017, 42 million Americans above the age of twelve listen to podcasts at least on a weekly basis. Before the advent of the World Wide Web, in the 1980s, RCS (Radio Computing Services), provided music and talk-related software to radio stations in a digital format.

Yuan-ti
The yuan-ti are a fictional species of evil snakemen in the fantasy role-playing game "Dungeons & Dragons". The species comprises a number of castes. In some campaign settings, the yuan-ti are descended from evil human cultists who mixed their bloodlines with those of serpents. They have formidable psychic abilities. The yuan-ti were introduced to the D&D game in the first edition of "Advanced Dungeons & Dragons". The original yuan-ti castes were the abominations, the halfbreeds, and the purebloods, which first appeared in the module "Dwellers of the Forbidden City" (1981), and were all later featured in the first edition "Monster Manual II" (1983).
