Depends on who you ask. Leo Laporte would rather we use Netcast seeing as people who don’t know any better might assume you need an iPod to hear them. Jeff Jarvis isn’t interested, and then, in the comments section of Jeff’s post was this gem which is totally and utterly the entire point:
But seriously, most of those people who don’t realize you can listen to a podcast on a regular MP3 player or their computer are also not going to know what a “netcast” is or how to use one. At least the term “podcast” tells people it has something to do with an iPod, and therefore probably has something to do with MP3s.
Whoever Brian Brown is really gets the point here.
Well said, Brian!
