What Is A Podcast? 5 Podcasters Answer

May 19, 2026 · 7 min

Show notes

What actually is a podcast? Sounds like a simple question. But it seems there’s no simple answer.


In episode one of Too Long Didn't Listen, we asked five podcasters to define podcasting in 60 seconds or less. The result is a mix of perspectives on storytelling, connection, creativity, video, audio and why podcasting feels different from every other medium online.

Some see podcasts as an evolving media that can live across audio, video and live experiences. Others focus on intimacy, passion and the power of telling stories through sound alone.
