These days the world and his wife have a podcast. Take any topic, however random, and you’ll find a bunch of podcasts proclaiming to be an authority on it.
To make matters even worse it seems that new ones come out all the time. But, in case you’ve been in living on Mars, why is it different from radio and where did all this begin?
The word derives from Apple’s iPod, those portable media players that took the world by storm at the beginning of the noughties. In addition to music, iPods allowed for the broadcasting of shows made by individuals or organizations.
This made them incredibly popular as they allowed anyone to broadcast content without the traditional constraints of a broadcasting infrastructure, like BBC Radio, for example. The most popular podcasts cover a diverse range of subjects from sports to art, religion to food.
It would seem that comedian Joe Rogan hosts one of the world’s most popular podcasts in the world. But today we’re talking about podcasts dealing with the casinos, so let’s get cracking and check out our favorites in no particular order.
