It's the two-year anniversary of the History Behind News podcast. Given this news, we decided to look into the history behind podcasting. For example, how did podcasting become a thing? How and when did podcasting morph out of its super geeky & techy origins, into this huge, supercool, mainstream phenomenon? And how is a podcast different than, say, a radio program that’s just uploaded onto the Internet and then called a podcast? And finally, what makes for a good podcast?
To get answers to all these questions, I spoke with Dr. Martin Spinelli – Professor of Podcasting and Creative Media at the University of Sussex in Brighton, the United Kingdom.
He is the lead editor of the Bloomsbury Podcast Studies book series, co-host and executive producer of the podcast For Your Ears Only, and writer and executive producer of the recently released adolescent emotional well-being sci-fi podcast drama, The Rez. His benchmark radio art series Radio Radio and LINEbreak are included in the permanent collection of the Museum of Television and Radio in New York. 
To learn more about Dr. Spinelli, you can visit his academic homepage. And here is an Amazon link to his book, Podcasting: The Audio Media Revolution, which we discuss in this episode.
I hope you enjoy this episode.
