Subscribing to an Ivey Podcast

A podcast is an audio or video file that you can subscribe to online. Once you subscribe
to the podcast it will automatically show up in your reader.

The majority of podcasts are available as audio files in MP3 format, syndicated through an RSS (XML) file. The content is downloaded to your desktop PC or mobile device.

It's not streamed, so you can access the content when you want (from Getting Started with Podcasts by Mike Hall).
