Sigh. Please just call it a video program if I cannot subscribe with a podcast app or download it to an iPod shuffle and listen to it offline. There has been a campaign of misuse of the word "podcast." (Like the word "inflation")
- It must have a RSS feed
- The RSS feed has download links
- Podcast players use the same format and are able to download programs from various sources into one application.
Who made these rules?
Well it normally is the rich and powerful. 😉
Seriously though, the community of podcast users, which are in the millions, know this word to include content that you may download as audio or video programs linked with an RSS feed according to some standard format used by many apps. Podcasts are used by people who cannot be or don't want to be always connected to the Internet while listening or watching or just love the content regardless. Think of podcasting as a protocol. If it breaks the protocol, it just fails the properties of being a Podcast.
