WHAT IS A PODCAST?

A podcast is a digital audio file made available on the Internet for downloading to a computer or mobile device, typically available as a series, new episodes of which subscribers can receive automatically. Podcasts are usually audio files, but can also be a video or a combination of audio and video. Podcasts are a popular way for people to listen to content on-the-go, such as while driving, exercising, or doing household chores.

Podcasts cover a wide range of topics, including news, sports, music, comedy, storytelling, and more. Many podcasts are produced by individuals or small teams, while others are produced by major media companies. Podcasts can be listened to on a variety of devices, including smartphones, tablets, and personal computers. They can also be played on smart speakers or through dedicated podcasting apps, such as Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

Podcasts have gained in popularity in recent years, with millions of people around the world listening to podcasts on a regular basis. Podcasting has also become a popular platform for content creators to share their ideas, insights, and experiences with a wide audience.
