What is a Podcast?
Podcasts are the streaming age's answer for radio. A podcast is defined by the dictionary as a digital audio file that you can download or stream over the Internet. It's fascinating history is what explains why it's called a podcast.
Podcasts are a type of media content that was created in 2004 by former MTV video jockey Adam Curry, and Dave Winer, a software developer. The iPodder allowed users to download radio broadcasts from the internet to their Apple iPod. This is how the podcast term was created. Its name comes from a combination of "iPod" and "broadcasts".
Podcasts have become a very popular form of audio entertainment. They are no longer downloadable radio programs. Podcasts are a series that is created by a host. Each episode is then posted online and subscribers can download and listen to it when it's available.
Podcasts offer a more accessible method for content creators to connect and communicate with their audience than traditional content production methods like radio and TV. Podcasts are not currently regulated. You don't even need a broadcasting licence to publish podcast content. Anyone can start their own podcast with basic audio and recording equipment, as well as a membership to an online hosting platform.

Research published this year by Harvard and Stanford Business Schools suggests that health problems associated with job-related anxiety account for more deaths each year in the US than Alzheimer’s disease or diabetes. It is likely that the same is true in the UK.
The combination of the Amazon story and the recent study into the impact of work-related stress means that there are important questions that all organisations should ask themselves.
These include: What type of management culture do we foster? What informal conflict management techniques do we offer to foster healthy workplace relationships? What are we doing to enable people at work to enjoy their jobs and thrive, both psychologically and physically?
Scott teaches non-violent communication techniques that help managers live healthier productive lives.
