Podcast Studio

According to scholars at the Community, Journalism & Communication Research group at the University of Texas at Austin, a podcast is: “A digital audio or video file that is episodic; downloadable; program-driven, mainly with a host and/or theme; and convenient, usually via an automated feed with computer software.”

It other words, a podast is very much like a regular TV or radio show. But today, thanks to technology and the Internet, anyone can be a podcast broadcaster, without spending millions of dollars on fancy equipment. And whether the podcast is delivered through just audio and a microphone or video with a webcam, the potential to gather a significant audience is strong. The podcast audience has been growing at the rate of 40 to 50% for several years now, and according to a study from Arbitron-Edison Media Research, podcasting now reaches some 20 % of the U.S. population with close to 30 million Americans listening to a podcast in the past month.
