What is podcast
The most curious thing is that something very similar to podcast existed in Russia of the time of the Soviet Union. In the 1980s in Rostov-on-Don, a project on tape recorders was published not even cassettes, but also on the Bobbins «Illusion of Independent Radio». And he spread by “ordinary” mail, by paid subscription, was quite popular in narrow circles. By the end of its existence, the geography of the project covered almost all of Russia, but it did not really. And for technical reasons (record so many!), and because there was no way to distribute advertising through official channels. And it was more a creative project than a commercial.
