The first radio show to publish in this format was WebTalkGuys World Radio Show, produced by Rob and Dana Greenlee.

Besides scheduling and recording audio, one of the features was a Direct Download link, which would scan a radio publisher's site for new files and copy them directly to a PC's hard disk. In 2001, Applian Technologies of San Francisco introduced Replay Radio (later renamed into Replay AV), a TiVo-like recorder for Internet Radio Shows. Called PocketDJ, it would have been launched as a service for the Personal Jukebox or a successor, the first hard-disk based MP3-player. Independent of the development of podcasting via RSS, a portable player and music download system had been developed at Compaq Research as early as 1999 or 2000.

However, the development of downloaded music did not reach a critical mass until the launch of Napster, another system of aggregating music, but without the subscription services provided by podcasting or video blogging aggregation client or system software. Additionally, in 1998, Radio Usach, radio station from the University of Santiago, Chile, explored the option to broadcast online and on demand streaming talk shows. Some websites allowed downloadable audio shows, such as the comedy show The Dan & Scott Show, available on AOL.com from 1996. Malamud said listeners could pause and restart the audio files at will, as well as skip content they did not like. A 1993 episode of The Computer Chronicles described the concept as 'asynchronous radio'. It was distributed 'as audio files that computer users fetch one by one'. In 1993, the early days of Internet radio, Carl Malamud launched Internet Talk Radio which was the 'first computer-radio talk show, each week interviewing a computer expert'. There were a few websites that provided audio subscription services. Many other jukeboxes and websites in the mid-1990s provided a system for sorting and selecting music or audio files, talk, segue announcements of different digital formats. The MBone was a multicast network over the Internet used primarily by educational and research institutes, but there were audio talk programs. Before online music digital distribution, the MIDI format as well as the Mbone, Multicast Network was used to distribute audio and video files. īefore the advent of the internet, in the 1980s, RCS (Radio Computing Services), provided music and talk-related software to radio stations in a digital format. It was the first Soviet Russian prototype of the media phenomenon that was widely developed in the 2000s as podcasting. The Illusion of Independent Radio is a Russian samizdat 'radio program' created in 1989 in Rostov-on-Don and distributed on magnetic tape and cassettes.
