Podcast – A Modern Form of Original Audio Formats?
Podcast – A Modern Form of Original Audio Formats?

Summary/Abstract: Radio broadcasting has been bringing its listeners information, opinions, education, entertainment, and art for decades. It is characterized not only by its specifics but also by genres that have evolved and changed over time. The creators of podcasts, a format that is becoming increasingly popular in the world as well as Slovakia, also work with the base of these principles and characteristics. Their authors intuitively or consciously build on the specific values of radio and work with its genres. The extent to which the authors of the modern communication format of podcasts base their work on the original auditory media has so far been little explored and described. Therefore, this study aims to point out the tendencies of podcast creators to shape the content of their sessions and their creation into specific genres in three case studies. The study maps the genres of classical radio broadcasting, indicates how individual genres have changed and adapted to the needs of a current era, and describes the most common podcasting formats. At the same time, it analyses and compares the use of genres in classical audio formats; their intertwining with podcast work defines the differences in radio broadcasting compared to the modern form of podcasts.
