Thought this might interest all of us vintage Mac fans - here's somebody talking
about his Mac OS 9 setup that he uses to produce one of Sweden's most successful
podcasts on cars:

A "podcast" is really just a sound file. It can be created or listened
to on almost anything with sound capabilities, the version or type of
OS is irrelevant. You could make a podcast on an old Commodore 64
without any real trouble.

The name "podcast" probably needs to be consigned to history, since
Apple no longer makes iPod devices. :-( Maybe they should now be
called something like "pre-recorded audio shows".

Very true! But when you want something that sounds professional and
"radio like", a Commodore 64, recording to tape on the kitchen radio or recording onto someones answering machine doesn't really cut it. You
want to some audio processing, editing and do *something* that adds some
kind of production value to the sound.

But yeah, it's just a sound file. If you don't care about sound quality
you can surely use whatever with recording capabilities to do it.

I've been doing professional recording for the last 20 years using a
beige G3 running OS 8.6. The quality of the on-board A-D converters is
quite good enough for making professional CDs and well above anything
you get on YouTube, so there is no need to worry about the audio
quality.

Whether you can find a browser that will cope with HTTPS is another
matter.

Way back when, I got somewhat into the pro-wrestling internet fandom scene
and around the late-2000s/early-2010s wrestling podcasts took off, every
man and his dog seemed to be making audio talking about wrestling gossip.

The grandaddy of them all, though, was the Wrestling Observer/Figure 4
Weekly who had been producing what they termed "internet radio" shows
since the mid-00s (and proto versions of their output had been published
online since the 90s, on eYada etc). I always liked that name for it,
internet radio; even though radio had nothing to do with it, it felt like
it closely described the sentiment of what they were making - episodic
talk radio. I always thought "podcast" as a term was pretty dumb.
