    4.Vlogs and Podcasts are NOT related, A Vlog is a Video-Blog, These are typically used/Recorded on a Daily basis and they consist usually about what happened to them that day or are stuff coming up/ in the future(Ex. A Update about something). However Podcasts are Prerecorded shows about certain people talking/debating about what they like. Or they could be For example a church podcast, that they record their service as a video and they up upload it to their website/ Itunes and that's considered a podcast. Podcasts are usually listened to/ uploaded on a weekly basis.
