What is a Podcast?

Podcasts are the streaming age’s answer for radio. A podcast is defined by the dictionary as a digital audio file that you can download or stream over the Internet. It’s fascinating history is what explains why it’s called a podcast.

Podcasts are a type of media content that was created in 2004 by former MTV video jockey Adam Curry, and Dave Winer, a software developer. The iPodder allowed users to download radio broadcasts from the internet to their Apple iPod. This is how the podcast term was created. Its name comes from a combination of “iPod” and “broadcasts”.

Podcasts have become a very popular form of audio entertainment. They are no longer downloadable radio programs. Podcasts are a series that is created by a host. Each episode is then posted online and subscribers can download and listen to it when it’s available.
