"Podcast" is an acronym, a combination of "iPod" and "broadcast".
A podcast is an episodic series of spoken word digital audio files that a user can download to a personal device for easy listening. Podcasting has been considered a converged medium, bringing together audio, the web, and portable media players, as well as a disruptive technology that sets this medium apart from the traditional 20th-Century model of "gate-kept" media and their production tools.
As of April 2021, there are over 2,000,000 active podcasts and more than 48 million podcast episodes (Podcast Insights, 2021).
