Podcasts are a series of audio files distributed over the internet using feed-based syndication [17, 21]. This paper proposes an anal-
ysis framework, called PodCred, which is especially designed to support prediction of user preferences regarding podcasts. Some
definitions liken podcasts to radio programs [8, 11]. However, there are three main differences between podcasting on the internet and
radio broadcasting. First, podcasting is targeted at a specific listener group with a focused interest. For this reason podcasting is
also referred to as narrowcasting [10]. Second, podcasts are created with the intention that they will be available for download in
the longer term and potentially reused [10]. Third, it is possible to produce and publish podcasts without specialized equipment [7].
As a result, the podosphere, the totality of all podcasts on the internet, contains a high proportion of unscripted, unedited, user gen-
erated content alongside professional content. Podcast listeners either subscribe to a podcast or download episodes individually for
listening. A podcast feed is published to the internet conforming to a feed standard (an XML standard). When a listener subscribes
to a podcast feed, new episodes are downloaded automatically by a feed aggregator. They can be directly loaded onto the listener’s
mp3 player, but can also be listened to on a computer.
