    Podcasting

    Podcasting revitalized spoken-word audio.

    Why Podcasts Became Popular

    • Easy to produce and distribute.

    • Serve niche audiences.

    • Portable — listeners consume during commutes, workouts, and daily tasks.

    Typical Podcast Workflow

    1. Record voice tracks (often in WAV).

    2. Edit + mix.

    3. Export in compressed format (often MP3 or AAC).

    4. Upload to a hosting service that distributes to platforms:

      • Apple Podcasts

      • Spotify

      • Google Podcasts

      • RSS-based directories

    Podcasting democratized broadcasting — anyone can host a show now.
