I wonder if you could unlock some wealth by coming up with an alternate frame or phrase for ā€œpodcastā€ I think ā€œpodcastā€ implies ā€œbroadcastā€ which is public-facing ā€œhere’s a bunch of ideas I’ve thought out loud aboutā€ and ā€œhere are some chats with friendsā€ could be more intimate

the problem I’m trying to solve maybe might be better solved by just encouraging people to do lazy/casual/intimate podcasts rather than trying to rename them But also names have vibes, compare substack vs tinyletter

also to be clear when I say ā€œunlock wealthā€ I mean a wealth of good content, not ā€œwe can make money from thisā€, lol

@visakanv I love that I knew what you meant here before you clarified, without even thinking about it it's like yes, there is real wealth—we know what we're talking about

@visakanv maybe we can headcanon the "pod" as pointing at small, personal since it obviously doesn't directly refer to iPod anymore and since podcasts are in some sense very personal, like they are broadly AVAILABLE but each person chooses their own (unlike broadcast TV)

@visakanv I'm always wondering if someone will morph their podcast audience into a microsolidarity scene the Liminal Web folks are probably the closest I've seen https://t.co/pfBvXljNaA they talk about "digital campfire" instead of "podcast"

@RichDecibels @visakanv I could absolutely see Friendly Ambitious Nerds using Callin as a form of open mic night dialogue. It’s also more about leveraging platforms in service of ideas and vibes as opposed to names, which most of the apps champion the latter, unfortunately.

@RichDecibels @visakanv Or alternatively, people just have carefully moderated Twitter Spaces, bringing up people they know and profiles that are proven to be good faith actors.

@RichDecibels @visakanv It depends if people want the ephemerality of Twitter spaces or the archiving of Callin.

@visakanv pod and cast are both wrong, an alternative term wouldn't use either of them
