I have no evidence to back it, but it felt to me like there was a podcasting boom around 2004-2006, and then I stopped hearing about them until a revival circa 2014, when everyone and their mother was listening to Serial.
According to [1], JRE launched in late 2009. According to [2], podcasts took off spectacularly in 2004 and by 2005, every man and his dog had a podcast (paraphrasing, obvs.) Whilst he has been doing it a long time, he was relatively late to the party.
