Surely you’ve noticed that in the last year there are more and more podcast ads on the internet. For some, this is a format already known for 14 years, but for others, this is the great novelty of this year.
If you are one of the latter ones, you might ask: What is a podcast?
This format was born in 2004 and is nothing more than an audio and / or video file that is available on the internet to be listened to whenever you want. It comes from the union of the words iPod (electronic device where it could be heard initially) and Broadcasting. Fortunately, technology has advanced and today we can listen to them on any electronic device, despite this, it retains its original name.
This format is giving it vigor and a new face to what we traditionally know as radio programs. But their differences and similarities can be highlighted:
Given the success of podcasting that does not mean that we all must have a one. Today there are tools for all kinds of content creators and consumers, we just have to find the place where we enjoy making or receiving content from the internet.
If you want to make your own podcast you can start by listening to some of the most successful ones in your country. Take reference of the structure, orientation of content, and duration. Podcasts can cover any topic, and have the freedom to be on the internet. There are no limits of censorship like there is in open radio.
There are infinite podcasts on the web. They cover information topics: News, sports, politics, health. Or entertainment: Humor, lifestyle, shows. You can find them on platforms such as Spotify, Itunes, Ivoox… just to name a few or even accompanied by video on YouTube.
