podcasting
Episodic audio distribution
Podcasting is producing and distributing audio content as downloadable or streaming episodes, typically as part of an ongoing series.
The format emerged in the early 2000s, combining iPod with broadcasting.
Podcasts cover everything from true crime to comedy to niche hobbies: She got into podcasting during the pandemic.
The verb also describes the act of listening: I was podcasting on my commute.
