3. What is a Podcast??
A Podcast is an audio file
that can be streamed or
downloaded from the
Internet. Most people listen
to Podcasts they find on
the 3 major directories;
iTunes, Soundcloud, and
Stitcher Radio.

4. A brief history of Podcasting
As early as 2004, the first signs of Podcasting began
to appear. The word Podcast was first used in an
article in The Guardian on February 12, 2004. This
term was not love at first site for the online community,
but like so many things in life…the word Podcast just
stuck.
Very quickly, buzz began to build around Podcasting
as Entrepreneurs immediately saw the potential this
form of communication had. However, the tech barrier
to listen to Podcasts in the mid 2000′s was a little high
and soon became obvious the main stream population
would not be flocking to this new form of media.

5. Enter: The Smartphone
The smartphone changed everything in the Podcasting world. With the
introduction of the iPhone in 2007 and the Android in 2008, things
began to happen rapidly in the world of Podcasting. The tipping point
happened in 2010 when over half of Americans owned smartphones.
For the first time ever, the majority of the population now had access to
a virtual computer in their pocket 24-hours a day, 7-days a week. With
3g becoming 4g and wi-fi cropping up everywhere, streaming Podcasts
became incredibly easy.
At this time, Apple began investing heavily into their storefront iTunes
and Podcasting took its rightful place on the navigation bar. Apple
further upped the game by making their Podcast App a recommended
download on their iPhones in 2012, and native (pre-installed and
unremovable) in the fall of 2014.

6. Enter: The Smartphone
EntrepreneurOnFire saw a huge jump in downloads when iTunes made the Podcast
App recommended, I can only imagine what will happen when it goes native!
In early 2014, Apple announced the release of Apple
Car Play, Google introduced Android Auto, and
Stitcher radio introduc Stitcher Dash, meaning every
car rolling off the lot in 2015 and beyond will have
one or all three of these Podcasting directories at the
drivers fingertips, streaming through every car
speaker at the touch of a button.
That last tech barrier to listening to Podcasts?
GONE. Hello world, Podcasting is taking over!

7. Enter: The Smartphone
From Tim Ferriss, to Suze Orman, to Adam Carolla…from CNBC, to NPR, to TED, the world is
sitting up and taking notice of the power of Podcasting, and the way content is delivered and
consumed will never be the same.
Let’s use EntrepreneurOnFire as an example. I
produce every episode from my livingroom with a
mic, a computer, and a connection to the internet. To
date, EntrepreneurOnFire has been live for 23
months and has generated over 8.2 million
downloads in over 145 countries. Below is a glimpse
of the EntrepreneurOnFire studio…pretty basic
setup for a Podcast that is consumed all over the
world.
