    I remember when podcasts weren’t on video. I was just thinking the other day about how weird it is that so many started recording video and yet they’re still called podcasts.

      As far as I’m concerned, if there’s no RSS feed it isn’t a podcast.

      We also all stopped listening to them on our iPods. Which is where the name originally came from :p

        Walking the family dog after downloading the freshly released Trance Around the World by Above and Beyond weekly podcast onto my iPod is a very nice memory.

      And there was a perfectly fine term, vodcast, for video podcasts, but for fuck knows what reason people just decided no. I hate it, actually. In my mind, a podcast is for listening, not watching.
