The Audacity to Podcast®

400. What’s a Podcast Anymore?


Listen Later

This fundamental question that has been challenged and even abused: what is a podcast anymore? There's plenty of misinformation and disinformation out there about what a podcast is. My efforts to help set the definition straight may be fruitless, but there's more to consider here than only the meaning of the word.

This is my 400th episode of The Audacity to Podcast, to to commemorate this milestone, I want to jump back to this fundamental question because how we answer it will affect the future of our content and even of the whole podcasting industry.

    Strict definition versus usage description
    Is the definition a "gatekeeper"?
    Should you really call your content a "podcast"?
