Internet Radio & the Origins of Podcasts
Podcasts are a relatively new piece of media. It is a close cousin to traditional radio, in that podcasts are audio media comprised of spoken word.
The term of “podcast” itself came about in early
2004 when journalist Ben Hammersley coined it as
a combination of “broadcast” and “iPod”.
Being called this century’s first new art form, podcasts have thousands of titles and millions of listeners, and can be seen as riding on the coattails of the digital music era that came about with more sophisticated mobile music devices. The most popular podcast of all time, Serial, has been downloaded 340 million times. So, it is no wonder that podcasts have become so incredibly popular with audio consumers around the world.
Podcast episodes tend to feature one or more recurring hosts discussing a topic or particular event, and the substance of these discussions ranges incredibly widely. You truly can find a podcast for any topic under the sun, wherever your interests lie. And these podcasts can vary in tone from the formally educational to the comedic.
It is up to your discretion as the listener to choose your perfect podcast. Podcast listeners tend to be incredibly loyal to their favorite series and keep tuning in for each new episode and sharing about it with family and friends.
The wide array of podcasts available to listen to also makes it incredibly easy to get yourself hooked. No matter the topic, there will be a podcast for it. With our universal love of watching and discussing films, we might be looking for more ways to engage with that topic.
