Podcasting is the preparation and distribution of audio files using RSS feeds to the computers of subscribed users. These files may then be uploaded to streaming services, which users can listen to on their smartphones or digital music and multimedia players, like an iPod.
A podcast is essentially a talk radio series on demand. This means that listeners don't need to turn up and tune in live, but can listen any time (and pretty much anywhere) they like. Podcasts tend to be focused on a theme or topic.
The word podcast is derived from a combination of two words. iPod and Broadcast. When the term was coined most people were using Apple's iPod to listen to podcasts. So when Ben Hammersley suggested the word podcasting to describe the new method of delivering content the term stuck.
The podcast-listening community involves people of all age groups. The theme and conversational nature of podcasts differentiate them from other forms of communication. Podcasts are varied in terms of topics and content. A podcast provides both convenience and learning value for its listeners.
Using podcasts as a communication tool can offer you many opportunities to grow your brand, reach new audiences, establish your authority, and express your creativity. Podcasts can also help you learn new skills, connect with other influencers, and generate income.
