"Podcast" is a portmanteau word, formed by combining "iPod" and "broadcast".

taxes Oct 9, 2019 4:29 PM general

Fuck

Rusp Oct 9, 2019 4:29 PM general

Yeah I think the

taxes Oct 9, 2019 4:29 PM general

 first suggested by The Guardian columnist and BBC journalist Ben Hammersley,

taxes Oct 9, 2019 4:29 PM general

Not apple

taxes Oct 9, 2019 4:29 PM general

fuck yeah

Rusp Oct 9, 2019 4:29 PM general

Idea of a podcast has been around since before 2004

taxes Oct 9, 2019 4:30 PM general

Use of the term "podcast" predated Apple's addition of formal support for podcasting to the iPod, or its iTunes software.

taxes Oct 9, 2019 4:30 PM general

Wasn't coined by apple

Spooky Phijkchu Oct 9, 2019 4:30 PM general

the word references the iPod though

taxes Oct 9, 2019 4:30 PM general

Someone just used the word ipod

Rusp Oct 9, 2019 4:30 PM general

It was made for it though

Spooky Phijkchu Oct 9, 2019 4:30 PM general

fair, wasn't coined by Apple

taxes Oct 9, 2019 4:30 PM general

The word was "made for it" sure

Spooky Phijkchu Oct 9, 2019 4:30 PM general

taxes Oct 9, 2019 4:31 PM general

but doesnt matter

Rusp Oct 9, 2019 4:31 PM general

No

Spooky Phijkchu Oct 9, 2019 4:31 PM general

On September 9, 2005, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) rejected the application, citing Wikipedia's podcast entry as describing the history of the term.

Rusp Oct 9, 2019 4:31 PM general

Why can they cite Wikipedia but I can’t

taxes Oct 9, 2019 4:32 PM general

lol they decided appl edoesn't have the rights to it

taxes Oct 9, 2019 4:32 PM general

Rusp Oct 9, 2019 4:33 PM general

Some sources have also suggested the backronym "portable on demand" or "POD", for similar reasons.
