grassroots of talk radio

Were need a better term than podcast. Then you get the people that ask the stupid fucking question if it has to do with having an iPod.

And sorry Shannon, but it is a stupid question.

Need a new bumper Spaz!! "Vanilla Radio-THE grass Roots of Talk Radio" pew pew pew pew

The source of all Brent Hatley's knowledge says:

A podcast (or non-streamed webcast) is a series of digital media files (either audio or video) that are released episodically and often downloaded through web syndication. The word replaced webcast in common use with the success of the iPod and its role in the rising popularity and innovation of web feeds.

Didn't "pod" cast actually come from the term "play on demand"?

Bring back netcast or webcast. Then you don't have the dipshits like the guys that call Bubba asking if they need an iPod. The utter stupidity of some of the audience had to have been a red flag for someone.

The term "podcasting" was first mentioned by Ben Hammersley in The Guardian newspaper in a February 2004 article, along with other proposed names for the new medium. It is a portmanteau of the words "pod"— from Apple's iPod —and "broadcasting." The name may be misleading, as despite the etymology, it has never been necessary to use an iPod, or, indeed, any other form of portable media player, to use podcasts; the content can be accessed using any computer that can play media files. Use of the term "podcast" predates the addition of native support for podcasting to the iPod, or to Apple's iTunes software. To avoid a term suggestive of "iPod", some use the term netcast instead of podcast, such as the TWiT.tv podcaster Leo Laporte (though the older term is also used in the broader sense of any internet-delivered realtime media transmission).
