What is a Podcast?
A podcast is a lot like a radio show. It has episodes, like a TV show would have, and it’s usually in audio-only format, although Ted Talks would be an example of a video podcast. Podcasts are usually around a topic such as music, books, interviews, science, etc.
Podcasts serve different purposes too. Some podcasts are trying to make you laugh, some are very suspenseful, and some are created to inform. Your podcast will be informational.
