Succeeding with Podcasting: Your Guide to Creating and Growing a Popular Podcast

A podcast is a series of digital audio files that people can download and listen to on personal devices such as cellphones, laptops, or computers. More specifically, a podcast is an episodic series of recorded spoken words focused on a particular topic, genre, or theme. The term “podcast” was coined in 2004 by Ben Hammersly in a Guardian newspaper article, combining “iPod” and “broadcast.” However, the true pioneers of podcasting were former MTV jockey Adam Curry and software developer Dave Winer.
