The internet has proven to be a great medium for new writers between blogs, social media, and places looking for informative articles, like Wikipedia, and news, like Associated Content. Because the internet is multi-media, just about anyone can post video and audio content and possibly become an internet star. When it comes to audio media, two major methods for posting said media are podcasting and phonecasting.
Podcasting
