Why on earth would a person want to use a three syllable word when they can use two?
Dan Farber makes the point that the word 'podcast' is technically inaccurate already and will soon be even more so. It also ignores the history of audio distribution on the internet. He suggests 'audiocast' or 'audiocasting' instead but I'm not sure that technical accuracy is important here to anyone but techies and I'm virtually certain that very few people care about the historical aspect. Podcast is a nice friendly two syllable word that rolls right off the tongue and I'm willing to bet that's enough for most folks. Unless someone comes up with a single syllable term.
