Seems like I am on to something. The news is that the word of the year is "podcasting".

I have been promoting the idea for quite sometime, and I still want to do more together with others who are interested.

My personal podcast can be found here.

NEW YORK, Dec. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Only a year ago, podcasting was an arcane
activity, the domain of a few techies and self-admitted "geeks." Now you can
hear everything from NASCAR coverage to NPR's All Things Considered in
downloadable audio files called "podcasts". Thousands of podcasts are
available at the iTunes Music Store, and websites such as iPodder.com and
Podcast.net track thousands more. That's why the editors of the New Oxford
American Dictionary have selected "podcast" as the Word of the Year for 2005.
Podcast, defined as "a digital recording of a radio broadcast or similar
program, made available on the Internet for downloading to a personal audio
player," will be added to the next online update of the New Oxford American
Dictionary, due in early 2006.
