The term podcast "urks" me (it's "irks" BTW) because this has nothing to do with iPods and ultimately it's just a word made up by an MTV Apple fanboy. Podcasts are just audio recordings in an RSS enclosure, and audio recordings have been around the 'Net for a long time. Ultimately the important part of the term is "cast" not "pod". You'll find over the next 12 months the term podcast will morph into other things - Microsoft is calling them "BlogCasts", and other terms will pop up as well.
I personally LOVE the term ThoughtCast that Ed came up with because it's a casting (throwing) of opinion out into the vast ether that is the 'Net...how poetic! :mrgreen:
