Abstract

In recent years there has been a significant increase in the Podcast consumption, a trend that seems to be no longer exclusively international. In Portugal this trend was seen in the first quarter of 2020, during the lockdown caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. Aimed at both large audiences and hyperspecialized niches, the Podcast has not only been used by the media, but also by actors of the most different areas: from politics to public relations, from teaching to organizational communication, from culture to sports. The issue “The New Territories of the Podcast” aims to explore this multifaceted character of the Podcast.
