Podcast #167 – Alternative Histories of Podcasting

Do you remember audioblogging? Prof. Andrew Bottomley does, and he’s here to tell some alternative histories of podcasting. From “Geek of the Week” to Odeo, he illuminates many more bygone shows and platforms from the 1990s and early 2000s that gave rise to what we’ve now settled on calling “podcasts,” for better or worse.

Bottomley is assistant professor of Communication and Media at SUNY Oneonta.
