I'm in New York City and still have to explain RSS and subscribing to podcasts to people. Meanwhile there are a lot of very technically savy people outside of major cities. But I'm down with calling it a feed. "Subscribe to our feed for free in iTunes." Thats still too much emphasis on iTunes. Another good thing to do would be for Miro to take off like Firefox did. Miro is an open source alternative. If that was popular then people would have to stop talking about iTunes all the time trying to get that foot in the door with an audience. Instead they could just let audiences know there is a feed of their show and that implies the viewer can use the platform of their choice to subscribe. We might be able to say, "Welcome to the Four Eyed Monsters Feed" in our upcoming episodes. I was also thinking of saying, "Welcome to the Four Eyed Monsters Video Channel." Still not sure. Part of me feels sad I can't just keep saying, "welcome to the Four Eyed Monsters Video Podcast." I’m down with all of this, except the thing about cities vs suburbs.

Like it or not, the term podcast in this context is here to stay for the forseeable future until we get back to the point that downloadable content that even includes music is just considered "Audio" and "Video". I am hoping that the technology of podcasting disappears and one-click subscriptions dominates.
