[...] Notwithstanding the terrible word that we’ve been stuck with since 2004, podcasting was on shaky ground long before Michael Geohegan’s now famous speech delivered at the Podcast and New Media Expo a few weeks ago (see his blog post, No More Podcast in the New Media Expo). [...]

I understood the broader implications, however I was suggesting the move into other forms of distribution and expanding audience might afford the opportunity to rename and rebrand our industry, if we so choose.

Did I blow it that badly, that people still think that this is a discussion about the word “podcast?” What an old and useless argument. The word is here to stay. As I thought I had explained, this is about expanding the horizon of available opportunities for those wishing to monetize, not a discussion about the catagorization and term applied to those who practice distributing audio and video files via an RSS enclosure.

It’s the same old argument — the word “podcast” may not be the best term because it implies you need an iPod, but so far even after three years no one has come up with a better name. The podcasting process takes several other things — MP3 files, video files, downloads, RSS feeds — and puts them together under one name. Personally I don’t care what that name is, but no one has come up with a better name that’s as catchy. “Downloadable Digital Media Cast” just doesn’t have much appeal. People may try to toss away the name podcast but I think we are stuck with it as long as iPods are the primary playback devices.

Maybe this also ties in with Howard Lindzon’s (or was it Jim Louderback?) insistence on calling the content “shows” instead of “podcasts” or “video podcasts” or “videoblogs” or whatever?

We’re part of the media now. We produce content. It’s consumed on computers, iPods, Zunes, TiVos, DVDs and probably dozens of other outlets I’m not aware of (yet). And, just like “Big Media” we’ll make money not only off our content and advertising, but from merchandising (20%-30% of Ask A Ninja’s income comes from DVD and t-shirt sales), lead generation and other income streams.

This might also put to bed the old and tired, “Why call it a ‘podcast’ when you don’t need an iPod to listen to it?” and the “podcast vs. video podcast” arguments. Just call them “shows”! (I’m in the same boat as Podcast Academy and, no doubt, hundreds of other shows/sites with “podcast” embedded in the name. Doh!)

Oh well, at least these are all indications that you and I are working in an industry that is ever-evolving and not getting stale anytime soon.
