That's a dumb comparison because: 1. Netflix programs are television shows—under both strict and loose definitions. You have to invent a bad definition of "television show" to exclude Netflix shows. 2. You're talking about Emmys and television shows and swapping the subject. You're one step removed. 3. You're making a category error. Same with people using "podcast" like it's a genre label (it isn't) or a specific (e.g. interview) format (isn't that, either). On the other hand, the way I'm applying the word podcast captures its defining characteristic. It's not a characteristic that Spotify-exclusive media has. (Spotify could change the way their platform works, and then they would have podcasts—they could even keep some stuff behind a paywall. They won't, though.) Similarly: "podcasts" that are only ever published by uploading them to the creators' YouTube channel also aren't podcasts. Again, "podcast" doesn't mean, "I'm talking to somebody and you can listen to it on your own time". (It's closer to "on your own device", but that's still not it.)
