I can now settle the age-old debate about what is and isn't a podcast.

If at the end of your podcast, and in your promos, you say

"Available where ever you get your podcasts.." then it's a podcast!

If you don't say it, then it ain't a fecking podcast!

To illustrate, here's the shortest podcast ever.

@davew I'd add that it has to be actually true also… :)

@forteller

yes but if they put that at the end it better be true, or they're going to have some confused potential subscribers.

@davew Dave I agree completely but sadly people that want to make YouTube look like Podcasts are trying to set a narrative and to be honest with you Podcaster’s are not educating there listers on what a podcast most don’t even know themselves! Look at Spotify’s Anchor they don’t even turn RSS feeds on by default.
