message: What kind of citation is required? I started listening to the Daily Source Code in September 2004 after buying my first iPod and reading about Curry's iPodder AppleScript somewhere on the (mac)web. Maybe slashdot. My point is that there were several posts on different sites about  the script at the time. You only have to look at the timeline at the bottom of this page to see late 2004 booming. For example this Inquirer story.

message: Wow, it's been a while since I've seen such a sloppy page, someone really needs to clean through this page, asap.
Is there any actual need to refrence adam curry in the first paragraph of the timeline?? It's not even in any kind of contex, it's just he talked with the guy who created the software he used. If someone can defend him having two refrences in the first parts of this article I would be more than happy to retract my opinions  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.69.184.78 (talk) 14:34, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

message: What are syndication feed enclosures?...
: Syndication Feeds are RSS feeds. RSS Feeds broadcast XML data like Blog posts and the process allows users to subscribe to blogs and podcasts. This data is constantly "pinged" by aggregators or "feed readers".  Enclosures are basically like email attachments for these feeds. It allows an individual to attach a file to an RSS feed. Hope that helps. BrianZ(talk) 00:26, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

message: There is still some work to be done, but I cleaned the article alot by placing things chronologically instead of jumping all over the place throughout the article. I know some may not prefer a timeline, but there is just too much useful information in this article that a user would be confused without a point of reference.

message: Is it Mbone or MBONE? I've seen it capitalized in this article and others (like Mbone) both ways. Elocina 22:50, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Radio Free Cybertron was distributing user-generated content in a proto-podcast format as early as 1999.  Not sure if that warrants a mention here or not, but it was definitely one of the earliest non-commercial uses of the technology that I know of.  24.30.97.198 00:45, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Podcasting is important for reasons other than its technical innovation. This article is basically a history of RSS-enclosed mp3 files and not a all-inclusive history of podcasting.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.244.164.254 (talk) 19:32, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

message: From section Precursors: "Before online music digital distribution, the MIDI format as well as the Mbone, Multicast Network was used to distribute audio and video files.". Can MIDI really be used to distribute audio and video files? --Mortense (talk) 21:02, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Only if you do not have a clue what MIDI is.  I have yet to see a .mid file that included video, and MIDI files such as .mid are only command lists for synthesizers.  To say MIDI distributes audio is like saying CNC distributes tools. Kid Bugs (talk) 14:30, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

message: I'm proposing to tidy up the references in this article.  I'd like to do the following:
* Make them consistent with the format of , but not necessarily use the template where the format is already close.
* Use consistent date formats:
** MDY dates in full for publication and access / retrieved date (i.e. May 5, 2014)
** YYYY-MM-DD dates for archived dates.
Anyone happy / unhappy with this?--Otus scops (talk) 08:33, 5 May 2014 (UTC)

message: While the content on the page has come a long way over the years it'd be worthwhile adding a new section to highlight the history of podcasting in different countries.
It's highly US centric at the moment as markets grow in plenty of other countries.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Courtneycarthy (talk • contribs) 07:56, 18 March 2018 (UTC)

message: I'm removing the image https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:WWOZUpstairsArmstrongStudioIfrog.jpg from this page, because in spite of the caption claiming it depicts the "usual setup for a podcast", it in fact seems to depict a terrestrial radio station in the 90's. It certainly does not resemble any contemporary podcasting setup I've seen, but I would encourage someone to source a better photo that does. Walkersam (talk) 15:04, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

message: "Joe Rogan claimed in 2019 that his podcast alone was receiving 190 million downloads a month—a claim that is very likely true—and therefore makes his show the most downloaded podcast of all time"
Does this need some sort of citation? Maybe it is likely true, but don't we need a reliable source to back this up? Capturts (talk) 16:11, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
