The Rise of Podcasting

By 2005, podcasting started to gain remarkable traction, particularly following Apple's decision to include podcasts in its iTunes platform.

This strategic integration streamlined the process, allowing users from all walks of life to discover, subscribe to, and enjoy podcasts easily. As a result, podcasting evolved from a niche hobby for tech enthusiasts into a vibrant and mainstream form of entertainment. The proliferation of broadband internet access further propelled the podcasting landscape, giving rise to a rich tapestry of content that caters to an unprecedented range of interests and demographics. The medium blossomed, creating a community of creators and listeners who share a passion for storytelling and knowledge.

The Birth of Podcasting:

Podcasting, initially known as "audioblogging," emerged in the early 2000s, marking a significant shift in how we consume audio content. The term "podcasting" was popularized in 2004 by journalist Ben Hammersly in an article for The Guardian, capturing the essence of this innovative medium.

The concept became a reality thanks to the collaboration between Adam Curry and Dave Winer, who created a system for distributing audio files to iPods and other MP3 players automatically. This groundbreaking development not only paved the way for personal audio content but also transformed media consumption habits, empowering listeners to enjoy content on their own terms, anytime and anywhere.

Did you know that we are backed by SPACE TM, an integrated advertising agency and media production house specialising in digital content and broadcasting. Our academy was created to nurture a new generation of media legends who want to learn in a real work-based environment as opposed to a purely academic one. We noticed that students were entering the marketplace without the critical problem-solving skills and real-world experience needed in this competitive industry, so we developed an academy offering an authentic, hands-on learning experience in a live environment.

We are the right choice of academy for entrepreneurs and ambitious creatives who want to kick-start a career in media.
How are we different?

We integrate the theory of studying with a real-world working environment, ensuring students walk away with a formal qualification and the confidence to enter the media business.
If you’re serious about the media industry and want a foot-in-the-door in this competitive and rewarding field, we are the academy for you. You will work with real clients, broadcast live and benefit from fun, challenging and rewarding experiences that’ll leave you feeling empowered.

How does it work?
Our future media legends have a choice of 3 courses, each offering a formal qualification coupled with practical experience in a working media environment. Qualifications are recognised by relevant authorities, both locally and internationally. You will spend your morning in lectures in a structured environment and the afternoon in the studio, gaining valuable experience while working on real campaigns and putting all theory into practice. You will face challenges not covered in textbooks and look at ways of resolving issues, which in turn prepares you for a rewarding career in media.
The academy is a creator ’ s playground. A place where you are encouraged to learn, experiment, explore, and seek out your inner entrepreneur!
