Throwing a wrench into the works--I loath the term "podcast."

Podcast implies that it is an Apple product. While the word "pod" is
not a registered trade style of the Apple Corporation, it still sounds
like it is somehow associated with Apple.

Rather, when I use to be an audio content creator I always preferred
to refer to internet audio content as a "netcast" a la Leo Laporte.
But Laporte gave up on trying to rebrand internet audio content as
netcasts some time ago.

Whatever the case, I have found that using netcast doesn't cause
confusion, at least to the rare netcaster I write too from time to
time, so it might be a rebranding for HPR to consider given its hacker
roots.

But, to answer the question, I consider HPR to be a netcast.

With respect,
Bob
