    Here’s something to blow your mind: podcasts pre-date the iPod.

      The term “podcast” was coined by Ben Hammersley, a BBC journalist and The Guardian columnist, in February 2004. The word is a combination of “iPod” and “broadcast”. Hammersley first used the term in an article for The Guardian.

        Like seriously what would be the connection if it wasn’t the iPod?

        Yeah, “pod” cast, like podracing, you know star wars? Like your car is a pod. So like you cast it directly to your car and it’s like podracing cast pod.
