What I don't understand is why people have started calling mp3s of interviews/music mixes/etc. podcasts. Why the new term? I don't feel particularly hip and snappy using it. I feel like a freakin' yuppie wannabe. And podcasts make me think of iPods. I think they look sort of silly. Especially those "earbuds."
Anyways, why call it a podcast when not everyone has an iPod? And why do most amateur podcasts sound like the equivalent of a deer caught in the headlights?
If you want to see a crazy sale with total chaos, try the one at WalMart, the day after Thanksgiving. I hope to never go to one of those ever again :(. It is painful, crowded and chaotic. But, there may be a chance that I may be dragged to it again this year :(.
Anyways, I don't own an Ipod. But, they are slowly brain washing me into wanting one. I think podcasts are like a new form of audio blog. I kinda like it. It's a new way for people to express themselves and self publish their own radio-like shows.
Blogs have had the same criticisms when they first became popular.
