Summary/Abstract: This article explores the development of the Bulgarian practice in podcasting for 2014-2019. It compares it to recent trends in the USA where professionalization and commodification have settled in. The article presents research data on topics, genres and formats, as well as a portrait of the Bulgarian podcasters and their motivations. After identifying the adoption of some global practices (podcast networks, advertising, audio documentary), the article places an emphasis on the late entrance of traditional media which would determine the direction of future changes.
