All due respect, Dr. Masie, the term is 'podcast'

I mentioned Elliott Masie's podcast on informal content a couple days ago.

It's exciting to me to see leading corporate elearning types getting interested in podcasting as a learning vehicle. It's such a natural, especially as more cell phones add MP3 playing capabilities. I just have one teeny quibble with Masie's otherwise sensible treatment of the potential for recorded audio as a professional development medium. He says at the top of his talk that podcasts "go by lots of different names-- podcast, MP3cast, audioblog." I think that naming ship has sailed. For better or worse, for clear or misleading, a critical mass already has settled on the term "podcast." The elearning community might as well stop dragging its feet about it.
