What is a podcast?

Podcasts are audio programs that can take almost any form. They can be a news report or a one-act play; a formal interview or a friendly conversation; a personal narrative or a book review. Some podcasts are informative, others are entertaining, and others try to persuade. They can be funny, serious, thought-provoking or emotional. In short, your podcast can be pretty much whatever you want it to be.

How can I make my podcast stand out?

They are primarily looking for thoughtful pieces with a clear beginning, middle and ending.
