Episode Transcript
Calarogu Shark Media. Greetings trivia fans, and Happy World podcast Day.
I'm James Cridland, editor of pod News, guest hosting the
program today. I write about podcasting daily in podnews dot Net.
It's very good and I'm thrilled to celebrate this amazing
medium with some fascinating trivia. Question one, which device gave
(00:27):
podcasting its name? Question two? Adam Curry, often called the Podfather,
was best known for what prior to podcasting. Here's a hint,
something to do with the telly. Question three? What does
(00:48):
RSS stand for? That's the technology that makes podcast distribution possible?
Question which Guardian journalist first coined the term podcasting in
a February two thousand and four article. And question five?
(01:15):
In what year did Apple add native podcast support to iTunes?
Bringing podcasting to the mainstream. We'll be right back with
these podcasting answers after this break. Welcome back to our
(01:38):
World Podcast Day special. Let's reveal today's answers. Question one,
what device gave podcasting its name? The answer is the iPod,
the term podcast, of course, being a portmanteau of iPod
and broadcast. Question two, what was Adam Curry best known
for before podcasting. The answer he was a VJ on MTV.
(02:04):
He was one of MTV's most recognizable video jockeys from
nineteen eighty seven to nineteen ninety four, interviewing major stars
and hosting shows like Headbanger's Ball. Question three, what does
RSS stand for? The answer is really simple syndication. It's
a web feed technology essential for automating podcast distribution. Without
(02:29):
RSS feeds would still be manually downloading audio files from websites.
Question four, which Guardian journalist coined podcasting? The answer is
Ben Hammersley. In February two thousand and four, Hammersley suggested
the term podcasting in an article about the emerging technology,
(02:50):
although it took several months before the podcasting community actually
adopted and popularized the term. A man called Danny J.
Greguard did that. And Question five when did Apple add
podcast support to iTunes? The answer is two thousand and five.
Apple released iTunes four point nine in June two thousand
(03:13):
and five, which had native podcast support for the first time,
and they built a podcast directory funnily enough, from some
of the stuff that Adam Curry gave them. This was
the moment that podcasting truly went mainstream, making it accessible
to millions of users worldwide. And that concludes our World
Podcast Day special edition of five daily trivia questions. I'm
(03:38):
James Critten from pod News, and today's questions were crafted
with the help of AI technology but checked with a human.
Happy World Podcast Day, and keep listening.
