I've heard a lot about RSS feeds but I have no idea what they are. Can you explain them to me?

Sure! RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a technology that enables the dissemination of new content in a way that is easy for both consumers and producers of the content.  You can think of it as a standardized way for websites to send each other updates, much like how your email inbox works, except that the content is in a format that you're more likely to want to read (like web pages).

Specifically, I've heard about people using RSS feeds to download their favorite podcasts when the apps themselves don't allow you to download, only stream. How do RSS feeds do this?
