Podcasts are only 5 years old – but podcasting has already gone from being a niche indie tool to being a mainstream communication channel, even for corporations.
Podcast pioneer Dave Winer, who created one of the standards upon which podcasting is based and who helped popularize the technology, has published a torrrent that aggregates podcasts from the early days:
I was doing some research for a blog post and came across this folder of RSS enclosures from late 2004 and early-mid 2005.
These were the months when podcasting was beginning to take root.
I was doing Morning Coffee Notes. Adam Curry was doing Daily Source Code. Together, we were doing the Trade Secrets podcast.
Dave Slusher, Steve Gillmor, IT Conversations, Dawn and Drew, Tony Kahn at WGBH, Engadget.
It occurred to me that this slice of early podcasting might be worth preserving, so turned it into a torrent and have uploaded it.
Podcasting has come a long way in 5 year. But, while podcasting has changed a lot, the key feature of podcasting – that it lets anyone publish audio to the entire world – hasn't.
Do have any favorites from the early days of podcasting?
