#1. Schedule vs On-Demand

The first major differences between live radio and podcasting is that the scheduling and listening habits will be very different. With live radio, you have a set schedule and you have to stick to that. Essentially, you have to work around a clock-based schedule like this:
If your audience tunes in halfway through a show, there is an entire other half of the show that they have missed. This is why, as a live radio presenter, you will often have to re-introduce yourself, the show, the station and the topic of conversation. 
With a podcast, your listeners can download or stream the episodes whenever they like so they can fit in their listening around their own schedule. This means there is no need to repeat yourself after the initial introductions as the audience can easily skim back to the beginning if they have forgotten what or who they were listening to.
