>> They ARE the podcast industry. And they’ve been open. >Hmmm is this really true? They’ve accounted for the vast majority of podcast listeners since the early iPod days. It’s literally why they are called podcasts. They only dipped below 50% of listeners relatively recently.

Both podcasts and the term podcast predated Apple’s support of podcasts. The reason it was named as such was because iPods were the most popular listening device for podcasts. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podcast https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podcast
