Brief
These days, podcasting is a lucrative industry. But it wasn’t always the case. When the phrase “podcasting” is used nowadays. But it wasn’t always the case. Few individuals were familiar with the meaning of the phrase when it was first used and for a long time after. Even if they did, they might not have the ability to listen to someone. Podcasts may now be easily found, downloaded, and listened to. Additionally, it appears that everyone and their sister has their own program. We want to discuss how the format reached this level of public ubiquity and how you may participate in one of the most significant media transformations in the previous two decades
What Is Podcast
Let’s start by defining what a podcast is. Actually, it’s simpler to say than to accomplish. It’s an audio file that is downloaded to a device via an RSS feed, to put it most technically. A podcast often consists of speech or conversation rather than music, in contrast to other digital audio. A podcast resembles talk radio on demand in many ways.
The first podcasts as we know them today were created in 2004 by Adam Curry and Dave Winer as an application called iPodder for Apple iPods. From the words iPod and broadcast, the name “podcasting” was created. That makes logical, no?
For more than ten years, podcasts were viewed as essentially radio broadcasts that could be recorded, shared, and listened to on iPods (or other MP3 players). Since iPods are both novel and common, when Apple included native support for them in iTunes, the format expanded beyond just the niches that were previously aware of it. In a few years, Apple will finally remove iTunes from podcasting, adding a specific Podcasts app to iPhones and developing an Apple Podcasts service for artists.
