Godcasting’s Second Coming
May 30th, 2008 | By James Lewin | Category: Audio Podcasting, Featured Story, GeneralBack in 2005, so-called “godcasts” – religious podcasts – were one of the most talked about podcast genres.
Podcaster Craig Patchett in 2004 created the GodCast network, featuring a variety of Christian podcasts and even a Klingon Word podcast. Hundreds of churches followed suit, distributing weekly sermons as podcasts.
While mainstream coverage quickly moved on to other topics, godcasting is still going strong. In fact, recent research suggests that Christians are twice as likely as the average to be listening to podcasts.
