Sometimes some aspect of computing comes into my 'peripheral visiom'
and Podcaching is one that just recently did so. I found a podcast on
iTunes that didn't seem to spend much time explaining what pod caching
or geo cashing actually is. From listening to this interesting podcast
I gathered that it is a bit like collecting, but broader. Sometimed the
cashers go driving around like people on a scavenger hunt. But there
seems to be something else involved. So I need a definition.

Do you mean podcasting? If so here is a definition ( god knows what pod
caching is - something from the day of the triffids?):
podcast is a multimedia file distributed over the Internet using syndication
feeds, for playback on mobile devices and personal computers. The term as
originally coined by Ben Hammersley in an article in the Guardian on February
12, 2004 [1], was meant as a portmanteau of "broadcasting" and "iPod".
The term podcast, like 'radio', can mean both the content and the method of
delivery. 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 feeds
like RSS or Atom.
