minus-squarehelenslunchlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·edit-221 minutes ago You are attempting to split hairs based on distribution This is not just semantics or “splitting hairs” or pedantic. How it’s distributed is a fundamental property of what a podcast is. If it’s not, maybe you can tell me what a podcast is, and how it’s different from a YouTube video? You could argue that calling a live show a podcast is technically incorrect: …why would I do that? but thanks to language continuing to adapt to its environment… This is not “language adaptation”, this is a complete erosion of the meaning of the word. We have words for videos, they’re called “videos”, which are fundamentally different from a “podcast”. Podcasts were containerized (aka offline) recordings of these. Podcast are not necessarily offline. You can stream them.
