Podcast Naming, Danny Gregoire, History of Podcasting Project

The term "podcast" was coined by Danny Gregoire in a comment section, eventually superseding other names like "soliloquies." The hosts plan to create a "giblet"—a short, standalone audio history—to document these origins and ensure the true story of the medium is preserved. This project aims to correct the record for future generations and search engine results.
