I have a question for you. Here's a linguistic question. I have heard this. I've heard it. Bill Simmons is using it. I've heard other people using it. There's the

the what used to be the something something 1600 podcasts though that crew is now has a new podcast. I think it's pod save the queen.

People are calling podcast episodes pods.

I've seen it yet.

All over the place. It seems to be it is to me the linguistic it's the word of the year so far for 2017.

Whatever the hell their show is called. But anyway the thing that stuck out to me is the use of pod.

multiple pods. Yeah. I mean if you think about it too much it doesn't make sense but

if you think it at the appropriate level it makes perfect sense. I'm down with it.

I think it's a good addition. I wrote about this. I would have to find the link but I wrote about

this the first time Apple ever put podcast as a feature in iTunes which was a long time ago.

I mean we're talking it might have been like 2003. I don't know. It was 2005 because that was when
