A podcast is an  audio  product characterized by its periodic nature and multi-episode composition. Originally emerging from  radio , podcasts have found a vast audience on various internet platforms, especially  streaming services  like Spotify. Starting as mere discussions, podcasts now include a diverse range of formats such as interviews, storytelling, and fictional narratives, captivating audiences worldwide.

The term “podcast” was coined by journalist  Ben Hammersley  in a 2004 article in  The Guardian , discussing the potential of economic viability in online radio. Though debates about its origin continue, many experts point to  Thomas Edison’s phonograph  as a precursor, hinting at the timeless desire for auditory storytelling—a pursuit that has only intensified in our modern, digital age.
