RSS
RSS, or Really Simple Syndication, is a standardized web feed format that allows users to receive updates from websites without visiting them directly, such as new blog posts or news articles. In the context of audio, it specifically enables the distribution of podcast episodes, making it easy for listeners to subscribe and automatically download content. This technology has evolved into a cornerstone of digital media consumption, fostering accessibility and real-time updates in our connected world.

RSS indirectly sparked the podcasting revolution; the first podcast was published in 2001 using an RSS feed, and by 2023, the industry had grown to include over 4.6 million podcasts, reaching billions of listeners worldwide. This humble format, created for text updates, unexpectedly transformed audio storytelling by making it as easy as subscribing to a newsletter.
