Common Misspellings for PODCAST

Etymology of PODCAST

The word "podcast" is a blend of two words: "iPod" and "broadcast".

The term first emerged in 2004 when Adam Curry, a former MTV video jockey, and software developer, Dave Winer, wanted a way to describe distributing audio content over the internet. They combined the words "iPod", a popular portable media player at the time, and "broadcast", referring to the distribution of audio and radio programs to a wide audience. Thus, "podcast" was coined to describe the act of distributing and subscribing to digital audio files over the internet.
