audiocast

Digital audio broadcast

An audiocast is audio content broadcast or streamed over the internet—essentially a podcast or similar digital audio program.

The term emphasizes the audio-only nature, distinguishing it from video content: The conference will be available as an audiocast for those who can't attend in person.

Less common than podcast, it appears in institutional and corporate contexts.
