@jaredwhite There is a certain irony in choosing to die on the hill of a word that is derived from the playing of audio files on a specific company’s specific device. (We can agree to differ: sometimes you just have to let the language evolve. ‘Podcast’ has come to mean non-linear spoken audio, I’m afraid. Just as it’s no longer files played exclusively on iPods, it also now applies to BBC Sounds shows, et al 🤷)
@RichardYoung @jaredwhite the responses to this remind me of Brian Deer, the man who exposed Andrew Wakefield as a fraud.
Whilst Wakefield was ultimately responsible for his fraudulent MMR "research", Deer would take no responsibility for the headlines and pages of nonsense that his, and other media, printed that propagated the big lie.
Journalists and media appear to bother little about facts and truth in the main, as long as they have *something* to write.
