One word that would describe podcasts the best is creativity. With a podcast, people enter a whole different world with multiple roles to play. For a person who creates one, they get to share their thoughts with the world and develop complex connections to their original ideas. For listeners, they get to hear differing or similar opinions on connections they have previously made before. For newcomers, they have no idea what to expect other than reading a title and base their initial judgments on whether a topic is interesting or not. A title can tell all if you prefer to say what actually happens. This can bring in listeners from all over the world to hear discussions and ideas you create.
Titles draw in listeners depending on their likes and dislikes. It's important to narrow your topic to ascertain you appeal to a certain crowd. For example, you can talk about birds in general and how amazing they are. You'll definitely get listeners who are interested. But let's say you narrow your research and discussions to about Hoatzins, birds that are native to the Amazon, and how they have tiny claws that are on their wings. With just that specific information, you maybe want to see what a Hoatzin looks like or find out why they have them there. Just by learning about a Hoatzin, you've gained a small interest in the subject itself. Additionally, many people out there might not know what a Hoatzin is either and may develop an interest just from listening to that information. Specificity takes on its form and draws in listeners to hear what is being said. Without being specific, you can obtain your own crowd that will be small, but by adding a certain filter to your topic, you dive deeper within a subject and gain more listeners.
Creativity innovates everyday life. It is the foundation of thoughts and the inspiration for what the future brings to the table. Technology starts out of creativity and slowly evolves itself around it. One idea leads to another and builds on until a proper foundation is created upon a single topic. This is present throughout our world and is also included within podcasts. They're what inspires people to create a podcast and what invokes others to listen. This technology is something that is simple and yet complex all at once and makes podcasting a work that I consider to be truly remarkable.
