Former MTV VJ Adam Curry and software developer Dave Winer are credited with developing podcasting in 2004. Curry’s program, iPodder, allowed him to automatically download Internet radio broadcasts to his iPod. While Curry and Winer are credited with the idea of podcasting, Ben Hammersly was the first to use the term "podcasting" as a descriptor.

Podcasts have evolved since their conception in 2004. They are not only for recordings made by  musicians or authors. Podcasting is used regularly by businesses: promoting products and ideas, doctors; sharing their knowledge with their colleagues, and schools; for a variety of disciplines. The uses of the podcast are vast and almost limitless. (Felix, Stolartz 1) Apple has recently added a fifth generation iPod that can deliver images. Two models are available; one has 30GB capability and the other 60GB. The options of videos to play on the new players are still limited. ABC is currently the only network offering downloads of your favorite shows; however CBS has plans to follow soon. There is usually a fee to down load a television show as well as a music video. (Fischer 50)
