My fave in Québec is 'baladodiffusion' for podcast. Not sure if they say that in France too.

  baladodiffusion means "podcasting". podcast is "balado"

  No we don't. To be frank, podcasts are not a (big) thing here. I love how Quebecois are always inventing these funny french words, always put a smile on my face. I got to talk to my friends about 'baladodiffusions' but I'm not sure that they all know what a podcast is so I doubt they will appreciate this new word to its full extent.

    Wait, what? No Podcasting in France? Go start a Podcast ;)

      According to Google there are French podcasts, and they are very popular ! I found an article from 2012 that said there was 20 millions podcasts downloads in France every month (we're a bit less than 70 millions French). I had no idea since nobody I know ever mentioned podcasts to me. Maybe they're all Luddites or they hide their podcast addiction well ;-) Me I exclusively listen to audio books (and I can recommend wholeheartedly the ones from Graphic Audio).
