Abstract

This research represents the first approach to the history of podcasting in Spain through the description of its origin and the different evolutionary phases that it has maintained during its first forty years. Analysis of documentary sources and in-depth interviews with pioneers, users, podcasters and experts in digital communication were used in order to study the decisive technocentric and sociocentric factors for its development and current state, characterized by the presence of a robust community of listeners and creators, a complex ecosystem and the growing tendency towards the creation of transmedia narrative products that abandon the exclusively sound format of the beginning of this medium.
