poddokyasuto

Many Japanese podcasts use a format called 対談 (taidan), a structured dialogue or talk session, which is a deeply rooted tradition in Japanese intellectual and literary culture.
Japanese podcasting culture has a strong overlap with 音声配信 (onsei haishin), a term meaning 'audio distribution' used by platforms like Voicy that don't follow the RSS standard.
Because ポッドキャスト is a loanword, it is written in katakana, a script specifically used for foreign words and often used in Japanese advertising to make a product feel modern or international.
