A podcast is a digital file that contains audio or video, allowing for flexible and intimate storytelling. Unlike traditional radio, the cost to start producing a podcast is remarkably low, meaning many different types of creators can participate using devices like cell phones. This medium builds a strong feeling of closeness with listeners because the host’s voice seems to be speaking directly into your ear, creating deep, personal connections. Podcasters often imagine their audience as friends or fans.
