88: An Interesting Reflection on the Nature of the Podcast
from Fresh Fusion · host Jared White
Hello my friend! Are you enjoying this podcast? You can now support the show and share your appreciation with ☕️ Buy Me a Coffee! Or in French, une réflexion intéressante sur la nature du podcast. Yes, a très intéressante discussion ensued on Mastodon over the past few days: what is a podcast? What is the medium of podcasting? What is the format of podcasting? What is the history of podcasting? Why is a podcast called a podcast? Oddly enough, responses are all over the map, and my attempt on Mastodon to pin down a definitive definition of podcast proved rather controversial! Why?! Let’s break it all down—and ask my 2005-self from the dawn of the podcast age to weigh in on the controversy! (For the impatient, skip to 16:00.) And of course…since this is the 88th episode of Fresh Fusion, I can’t help but pepper in a few references to Back to the Future along the way… Links & Show Notes Leave a review on Apple Podcasts Subscribe to Creator Class (a Newsletter) Follow Jared on Mastodon / YouTube Viral toot! “A podcast is an RSS feed with enclosures of audio files which are playable across the whole ecosystem of podcast players.” (read more) Podcast - Wikipedia History of podcasting - Wikipedia Melodious Synth Podcast (2005)
