The "5 Things Your Podcast Doesn't Need" series rolls on and today, in Part 4, we are taking a slight detour away from the attention spans of your listeners and focusing on an item that many podcasts feature, but don't necessarily need.

As podcasting has evolved, many things have changed and become available to this medium. One of them is the ease in which we can access podcast content on our devices.

Back in the day, the term "PODcast" was literal because you uploaded "internet radio episodes" to your iPod and consumed at will. This was a newfangled thing (as was downloading music onto a portable rectangle), and many shows featured the word "podcast" so people knew what they were accessing.

Today, the question needs to be asked: Does the word "podcast" still need to be used?

I'm exploring this and more in today's episode. Enjoy!
