The second half of 2014 saw the arrival of the most popular podcast in history (Serial), a new podcasting company whose founding was told in real-time (Startup), and continued investment by legacy radio (NPR, WNYC) in audio for off-the-radio listeners. So what's next in 2015, and beyond? And how high is the ceiling for podcasts anyway?
Wesleyan alumni at the forefront of the podcasting revolution discuss the industry, what they're building -- and their favorite audio moments.
Hosted by Laura Walker '79
