What is a Podcast??

A Podcast is an audio file that can be

streamed or downloaded from the Internet. Most people listen to Podcasts they

find on the 3 major directories; iTunes, Soundcloud, and Stitcher Radio.

A brief history of PodcastingAs early as 2004, the first signs of Podcasting began to appear. The word Podcast was first

used in an article in The Guardian on February 12, 2004. This term was not love at first site for the online community, but like so

many things in life…the word Podcast just stuck.Very quickly, buzz began to build around

Podcasting as Entrepreneurs immediately saw the potential this form of communication had. However, the tech barrier to listen to Podcasts

in the mid 2000′s was a little high and soon became obvious the main stream population

would not be flocking to this new form of media.

Enter: The SmartphoneThe smartphone changed everything in the Podcasting world. With the introduction of the iPhone in 2007 and the Android in 2008, things began to happen rapidly in the world of Podcasting. The tipping point happened in 2010 when over half of Americans owned smartphones.

For the first time ever, the majority of the population now had access to a virtual computer in their pocket 24-hours a day, 7-days a week. With 3g becoming 4g and wi-fi cropping up everywhere, streaming Podcasts became incredibly easy.

At this time, Apple began investing heavily into their storefront iTunes and Podcasting took its rightful place on the navigation bar. Apple further upped the game by making their Podcast App a recommended download on their iPhones in 2012, and native (pre-installed and unremovable) in the fall of 2014.

Enter: The SmartphoneEntrepreneurOnFire saw a huge jump in downloads when iTunes made the Podcast App recommended, I can only imagine what will happen when it goes native!

In early 2014, Apple announced the release of Apple Car Play, Google introduced Android Auto, and Stitcher radio introduc Stitcher Dash, meaning every car rolling off the lot in 2015 and beyond will have one or all three of these Podcasting directories at the drivers fingertips, streaming through every car speaker at the touch of a button.

That last tech barrier to listening to Podcasts? GONE. Hello world, Podcasting is taking over!

Enter: The SmartphoneFrom Tim Ferriss, to Suze Orman, to Adam Carolla…from CNBC, to NPR, to TED, the world is sitting up and taking notice of the power of Podcasting, and the way content is delivered and consumed will never be the same.

Let’s use EntrepreneurOnFire as an example. I produce every episode from my livingroom with a mic, a computer, and a connection to the internet. To date, EntrepreneurOnFire has been live for 23 months and has generated over 8.2 million downloads in over 145 countries. Below is a glimpse of the EntrepreneurOnFire studio…pretty basic setup for a Podcast that is consumed all over the world.
