This chapter explores the early days of podcasting in 2011, highlighting the differences from the current podcasting landscape. It uses the example of Roman Mars and his podcast, 99% Invisible, to illustrate the challenges and evolution of the medium.
Podcasting in 2011 was in its infancy, with limited awareness and commercial interest.
Roman Mars produced two versions of his podcast, one for podcasting and one for radio broadcast.
Early podcasters often had backgrounds in public radio and were adapting to the new medium.
Just recently, Hillary Frank relaunched her popular podcast The Longest Shortest Time. This archive episode takes us back to Hillary's early days, when she was just finding her way in podcasting -- as we all were.
