La ‘segunda era’ del podcasting: replantear el podcasting como un nuevo medio de comunicación digital
Resumen
Este paper intentará analizar la historia del podcasting como una práctica cultural de producción y consumo de contenido sonoro digital. Después de una revisión de estudios previos que examinan la tecnología, se argumentará que el podcasting ha entrado en una nueva etapa de su evolución, en la que empieza a generar un mercado que ya no es simplemente complementario a la radio, sino una alternativa, desde que avanza hacia la profesionalización de la producción y la normalización del consumo. A esta etapa, llamaré “la segunda era del podcasting”, que se distingue por la transformación del podcasting en una práctica de producción comercial y un medio de consumo masivo, que comenzó en los Estados Unidos en 2012, con el lanzamiento de los primeros modelos de negocio que pudieron soportar la producción y el consumo independientes de contenido sonoro distribuido a través de podcasting.
