The blogger Dave Winer invented podcasts. And he posts ‘podcasts’ to his blog scripting.com.

But to most people, they’re not podcasts, as he is just quickly sharing his thoughts in audio form.

And to me they’re not podcasts either.

I like them though. And I’d like to try doing some on my blog. Only with a different name.

And since I did my first one a few minutes ago I had to think up a name. I struggled. I even asked a LLM. I wanted something catchy and smart.

In the end I liked the simplest and most obvious: audioblog.

Update: Although if you say you’ve “released an audioblog’ it sounds like the blog itself, not an individual post. Mmm. Maybe ‘audiopost’ would be better? Or ‘spokenpost’? We’ll see. One for future Elliot to decide. Not 1am Elliot.
