From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Why call it a podcast? Digital audio interviews existed before the iPod. Just following your logic.
I guess my point it, why does it matter? We both know what it means. The language has accomplished its goal of communication.
You're not following my logic because you don't understand it. A podcast is not a "digital audio interview".
The core concept of what makes a podcast a podcast is the method audio files are distributed (RSS).
Because you're conflating an open distribution method with a proprietary one.
You obviously don't understand what it means.
It didn't actually. If it had, I wouldn't have pulled up my podcast app to find and listen to this episode, only to find that it didn't exist.
Ah. I get it. Pet peeves do be the worst sometimes.
