Welcome to the world of voice! While writing is an excellent skill to build story structure, speaking is way faster, direct, and on the spot. In retrospect, I think that I developed speaking skills much earlier than writing and realized how powerful speech can be. My podcast is a way to capture the fleeting nature of spoken words and distribute them with the powers of the Internets!

Second podcast channel that’s in Polish

As a native speaker of Polish language I decided to create a second podcast channel called “W Podróży” (on tour). It’s not a translation of my English recordings. Podcast “W Podróży” is also a conversation-style but with intriguing personalities, who speak Polish. Enjoy!

What is a podcast?

Remember the iPod? No worries, you don’t have to. At the time it was the most trendy thing in the USA. Back then I have been living in Poland – one of these regions that were dominated by (illegal) MP3 files and very few people was interested in listening to anything else than music.

A podcast is a term we use to describe any audio recordings, much like on a radio station but distributed over the Internet. The technology and the name itself were created between 2000 and 2004, but Apple’s portable music player iPod made podcasting mainstream in English-speaking countries.

After about two decades podcasts are becoming a global phenomenon. It’s never been easier to record, publish and listen to podcasts in a variety of languages and topics. Almost any device allows now to browse, download or stream an increasing catalog of audio recordings.
