Episodic content, usually audio, delivered via RSS. Frequently downloaded and played in an application like

Overcast, Instacast, iTunes.

Most also post episodes on their website where you can listen without subscribing, which makes it easier to get

started.

Podcasts might all use the same technology to deliver episodes, but they aren’t all the same

Some examples

Size and Scale

There is a market. The “public radio” shows like Serial and This American Life are the largest presence with millions

of subscribers.

Hello Internet has ~120,000 listeners and four ads per episode ($6,000 per), they also receive 2,600 per episode

via Patreon.

That ain’t bad. There is space for your voice.
