Podcasting

From Encyclopedia Of Stupid

Podcasting is stupid.

Podcasting is a techno-catchphrase invented by the corporate whores at Apple to bugger you into buying a brand new, sleek, super-sexy iPod for the low, low price of only 200+ dollars!

Podcasts are small radio-like programs that you subscribe to and are automatically downloaded to your iPod via your iTunes player or a third party program like iPodder they that may fill up space on your iPod and never, ever be listened to.

Podcasts purport to discuss any number of topics, although who knows for sure because nobody ever listens to them? Topics include things like enormous fat women in bath tubs spraying shit all over themselves, men with horrifically stretched anuses, and unbearably cute/cheerful feline animals. Some people also podcast about news, games, and religion among other topics, but such things haven't really caught on so far.

Creating a Podcast

Podcasting is fairly easy to do and generally speaking any idiot with a computer and a bit of gear can do it. Your average podcaster, however, is usually either a network executive seeking to drum up business to support his hooker and Crack habit, or he's an adolescent fourteen year old kid. Sometimes both.

All you need to do to put out a podcast is record your podcast, throw it onto an rss feed and watch people start to download whatever crap you are spewing at them. If you'd like to gain some leverage on your competition, throw in a crappy website and enter your podcast into one of the podcast directories available on the web.

The Origin of Podcasting

Steve Jobs is reportedly responsible for the concept of podcasting, having gotten the idea during a fight with a coke whore in Tijuana while on a heroin binge, one weekend a couple years ago. He's since come out to state "Hey man, that wasn't me, I swear it, I wasn't even there". The rumor continues to persist, however.
