Name
[edit]The term "podcasting" was first mentioned by Ben Hammersley in The Guardian newspaper in a February 2004 article, along with other proposed names for the new medium.[1][2] It is a portmanteau of the words "pod"— an acronym for "Playable On Demand"—and "broadcasting".[3] The name may be misleading, as despite the etymology it has never been necessary to use an iPod, or, indeed, any other form of portable media player, to use podcasts; the content can be accessed using any computer that can play media files.[4] Use of the term "podcast" predates the addition of native support for podcasting to the iPod, or to Apple's iTunes software.[5] To avoid a term suggestive of "iPod", some use the term netcast instead of podcast, such as the TWiT.tv podcaster Leo Laporte[6] (though the older[7][8][9] term is also use in the broader sense of any internet-delivered realtime media transmission).
