That description only captures the facts and completely misses the
self-congratulatory wankfest.  Podcasts are nothing without the "we're
changing the world and are at the forefront of technology" wankfest.

Thank you, allbery.

I think you're over-demonizing the word. "Podcast" is a word because "MP3 for download on some kind of RSS feed" is too bloody long for something that people do so often. And it has "RSS" in it. Your grandmother is sick of learning alphabet-soup names. If she saks what it stands for, don't tell her the real answer!

All of my podcasts are currently either real radio programs, or exiled TechTV personalities.
