Podiobook! Hmmm…the pod-sibilities are endless! ;^)

Tell me you’re going to post this on the podcasters list, Evo!

podiobook…

… well, I’m currently subscribed to all three of them and enjoying them immensely, so you’re certainly doing *something* right. Another vote in the ‘podiobook’ camp from me.

I hereby second the ‘podiobook’ nomination. I really like the term, great one Evo. Once I said it aloud I got it instantly, however it took me a second just ‘reading’ it — I was like, huh? poliobook? poddiojdkh? something visually threw me for a moment — on the other hand, maybe i’m just dyslexic or something

Anyway, I *do* ultimately think it’s got legs, I’m using it now on my blog for the book, let the meme spread!

“Podiobook” is sheer genius. Let’s be honest here — everyone knows the term “audiobook,” and adding Pod to it encapsulates audiobook delivery in serial format. Evo could be the king of the Podiobook industry …

So, you’re officially making a word up? Cool.

I guess “podbook” would have run into the same problem as explaining “podcast”, whereas the play on words between “podio” and “audio” make the necessary link in the newbie’s mind, to where they can kinda figure out what you’re talking about on their own, with only a minor shove needed to get them to figure out what the “pod” part means.

Or something like that.
