History of Podcasting Project
Dean Whitbread
The History of Podcasting Project began in 2018 when producers from podcasting’s early days were inspired to construct an accurate historical timeline, collating evidence, artefacts and first-hand testimony, and generating the architecture of what is to become the definitive volume (book, website) on the History of Podcasting, dating from early 2000s to the present day.
As we continued with the task over two years, we realised that we were not just sorting through historic material submitted from around the world. History of Podcasting has become something more than just a reference book – it is a fascinating web of human stories, backed by an in-depth archive of artefacts. This is much more interesting than we first imagined, telling stories of how many lives were changed, of how podcasting refused to die, and why it still remains independent.
