Podcasts

Podcasts are digital audio or video files that are available for streaming or download on the internet. Typically organized into episodes, podcasts cover a vast range of topics, including news, education, entertainment, storytelling, interviews, and more. They are often produced by individuals, organizations, or companies and can be subscribed to via various platforms or apps, allowing listeners to receive updates automatically when new episodes are released. Podcasts are characterized by their episodic format, often featuring recurring themes or formats, making them accessible and engaging for audiences. The term “podcast” itself is a blend of “iPod” (a brand of portable media players) and “broadcast,” highlighting their accessibility and distribution model. They have become increasingly popular due to their convenience, as listeners can consume content while multitasking or on the go.
