It's difficult to define what a podcast was at the time. Is it an audio file downloaded via an RSS feed? Is it any downloadable audio off the web?

Well, in it's most basic definition, a podcast is digital media file that's downloadable. Podcast was just one of a few names that were being toyed with for defining audio blogs, which is basically what they are. Of course, Apple's iPod is where it ultimately gets the name..."Podcasting". A lot of people began publishing these audio blogs, but Adam Curry is, by many, credited with coming up with the idea to automate the delivery of the audio blog...so, maybe calling him the "Podfather" isn't totally accurate, because he didnt' really invent the audio blog (podcast), but he did organize the delivery of them. My 2.5 cents (inflation!) :)

That is fabulous!!! It's nice to see that iTunes is reporting what we've known for years!
