A good podcast has several good element that make for good listening. “Good podcasts
have their main idea defined and clearly understand what they’re trying to say and the best way
to express it” (Thompson, 2019). Me personally, I don’t listen to podcast and I have nothing
against them, but I really don’t know much about them. “Essentially, a podcast is simply an
audio or video transcription of information that can be downloaded and played anywhere and
anytime. It’s kind of like satellite radio, but in pre-packaged, time-limited formats” (Riley, 2019).
I do understand that they are very popular and a great way to communicate with an audience to
discuss popular topics, but it’s not something that I participate with. A good podcast will play to
an audience. “
“The audience is king. This is something that good podcasters understand in their bones.
This goes beyond the basic of “don’t swear on a children’s show.” Good podcasters know
what their audience is looking for, what shared knowledge unifies interested people”
(Thompson, 2019).
Podcasting began in 2004, “The term “podcasting” was coined in 2004 by journalist Ben
Hammersly in a newspaper article for The Guardian” (Culture, 2019). Podcast seems to be a very
good way of communicating to the masses. From the sports industry to government, and even
education it has been very successful. “Podcasting was, in fact, developed in 2004, when Adam
Curry, former MTV video jockey, and software developer Dave Winer, coded a program known
as iPodder, which enabled them to download Internet radio broadcasts to their iPods” (Culture,
2019).
