The BusinessWeek, Nightline, and NPR Shuffle Podcasts are pretty cool. TWIT is my fav, though.

Why does the term podcast exist? is it not just a downloadble mp3 file/streaming audio?

Should we call a dictionary a book with words in it?

We managed to get by for years without the term podcast while streaming audio and mp3 files still existed, thanks for playing though.

Podcasts aren't streaming.

Should we eliminate the word "Blog" too, as people wrote things online before that existed!

yes we should.

There are tons of podcasts out there but there are so many that are filled with no substance.

You will just have to listen to lots and over time, you will learn to weed out the ones that are not worth your time.

I think NPR's Wait Wait Don't Tell Me is the best. It's similar to the Daily Show with Jon Stewart where it makes fun of current events. It's the one podcast I look forward to each week.

Played-A Gamer's Podcast, and I used to listen to TWIT. I need to get back into podcasts, haven't really listened to anything in a while.

Poor Maleficus all bent out of shape over a new word.
