This done, and after those things had been somewhat digested by Christiana and her company, the Interpreter takes them apart again, and has them first into a room where was a man that could look no way but downwards, with a "muck-rake" in his hand. There stood also one over his head with a celestial crown in his hand, and proffered him that crown for his "muck-rake"; but the man did neither look up nor regard, but raked to himself the straws, the small sticks, and dust of the floor.

On April 14, 1906, President Roosevelt delivered a speech on "The Man with the Muck Rake", in which he deprecated sweeping and unjust charges of corruption against public men and corporations. The phrase was taken up by the press, and the verb "to muckrake", in the above sense, and the noun.

Word of the Week: Pencast

"Pencast": Online publication of a handwritten manuscript, usually along with the corresponding audio file. Also a verb: to publish a pen-written text with audio.

"Pencast" was formed through imitation of "podcast", coined in 2004 to mean "online publication of a digital media file"; the word appropriated the "pod" of "iPod" even though it isn’t necessary to use an iPod or any other digital media player to create a podcast. ("Podcast" and "webcast" are essentially the same thing, although "podcast" is now the more popular term.) The original "-cast" compound, "broadcast", was first seen in print in 1767, when it referred to the spreading of seed. It became associated with "radio" in the early 1920s; "simulcast" ("to broadcast simultaneously on radio and television") first appeared in 1948. (Source: Etymology Online.)

A blogger known as Mandarine claims to have coined "pencasting" in an April 2007 comment on Emily’s Blog in which he lamented the declining use of fountain pens:

Maybe I will post scanned manuscript articles (halfway between "blogging" and "podcasting", let's call it "pencasting") to use ink again.

iPod vs. MP3 Players: What's the Difference?

Name

"Podcast" is a portmanteau, invented by BBC journalist Ben Hammersley in 2004, of the words "pod" — from "iPod", a popular brand of portable media player produced by Apple Inc. — and "broadcast". Despite the etymology, the content can be accessed using any computer or similar device that can play media files. Use of the term "podcast" predated Apple's addition of formal support for "podcasting" to the "iPod", or to Apple's iTunes software.

Other names for "podcasting" include "net cast", intended as a vendor-neutral term without the loose reference to the Apple iPod. The name is used by shows from the TWiT.tv network. Some sources have suggested the backronym "portable on demand" for "POD", for similar reasons.

Bodcasting (Playboy + Body + Podcasting) bapopik

...
"Podcasting" involves the creation of radio-style programmes on a wide range of topics, including music and audio commentary, which are posted on the Internet for downloading to a listener's own iPod or MP3 player. The basic idea is that instead of listening to radio shows over the airwaves, a listener can download the shows that they are really interested in, and listen to them when they want.
...
The noun "podcasting" and its derivatives are formed from a blend of the term "iPod" (a "portable digital audio player" manufactured by Apple Computers) and the verb "broadcast".

The new technology of "podcasting" first came into the public eye in August 2004, its development and promotion mainly associated with Adam Curry, a former presenter on the music video channel MTV. The first recorded use of the term podcasting occurred earlier in the same year however, when along with audioblogging it was aired in a Guardian newspaper article discussing the growing popularity of amateur online radio.
...

...
This way there is only one step: "automatic downloading" in which the software takes the download and copies it into your digital music player (such as an "iPod", hence its name "podcasting"). The idea is that if you go to sleep with zero music on your iPod, you can wake up and the new audio files will be waiting for you to listen to them.

Online radio is booming thanks to iPods, cheap audio software and weblogs, reports Ben Hammersley

First published on Thursday 12 February 2004 02.50 GMT

With the benefit of hindsight, it all seems quite obvious. MP3 players, like Apple's iPod, in many pockets, audio production software cheap or free, and weblogging an established part of the internet; all the ingredients are there for a new boom in amateur radio.

But what to call it? "Audioblogging"? "Podcasting"? "GuerillaMedia"?

Podcasting and Netcasts

Posted by grantbarrett on May 15, 2015 · Add Comment

The word "podcasting" is commonly used to refer "to making podcasts", but it’s also used by some as the verb for "listening to podcasts", "downloading podcasts", or "listening to podcasts". The language around podcasts has always been tricky since the format was released — Apple initially disliked the use of "pod" — and practitioners like the TWiT network advocated for "netcast". This is part of a complete episode.

Pebble Picker

Posted by Grant Barrett on May 15, 2015 · 1 Comment

Right off the bat, it’s easy to think of several everyday expressions that derive from America’s pastime-including "right off the bat". The Dickson Baseball Dictionary catalogues not only those contributions but also more obscure terms like "pebble picker", and explains why a fastball is called a "Linda Ronstadt". Plus, as more transgender people are publicly recognized, there’s some debate about which pronouns to use. And who in the world would give a one-star review on Amazon to Herman Melville’s "Moby-Dick"? Plus, the plural of hummus, "tear the rag off the bush", "to boot", "synesthesia", "paper stretchers", "wet washes", and the verb "to podcast".
