      The term “podcast” was coined by Ben Hammersley, a BBC journalist and The Guardian columnist, in February 2004. The word is a combination of “iPod” and “broadcast”. Hammersley first used the term in an article for The Guardian.

        Like seriously what would be the connection if it wasn’t the iPod?
