What is a Podcast?

A podcast is a digital audio program that is distributed online and typically released in a series of episodes. Listeners can stream or download episodes through podcast platforms, apps, or websites.

Podcasts often focus on specific topics such as news, education, storytelling, interviews, entertainment, or specialized interests. Episodes may feature hosts discussing topics, interviewing guests, or presenting scripted content.

Most podcasts are distributed through platforms such as podcast directories and streaming services, where listeners can subscribe to automatically receive new episodes. Podcasts have become a popular form of media because they allow creators to share content on-demand and reach audiences around the world.
