Why more lawyers are listening to podcasts
Defined as digital audio made available on the Internet for download to mobile devices or computers, podcasting was first known as “audioblogging.” Although its roots hail back to the 1980s, it didn’t get its marketplace foothold until two decades later when the world had broadband internet, portable digital audio players and personal computers. Podcasting as a medium took off, then stalled around 2007, only to be revitalized through the connectivity of mobile devices like smartphones and tablets.
