Podcasting has a clear meaning, which is distinct from "audiobook", and it's very easy to understand the difference. However, since you managed to mis-parse the sentence "The paper has had plenty of time to append a note to the interview with Friedman correcting his nonsense" - try reading it with a comma after "Friedman" - then perhaps you're not going to get that. pwb, does that mean that if enough people believe the world is flat, or that angels exist, then it’s true?

Are you out of your mind? Plus, I'd hardly call Friedman's quote inaccurate. Given that most people share Friedman's definition of podcasting, his quote is entirely valid.
