Yes "podcast" means 'something recorded, audio or video,' at least the way my students use it now. This is similar to how "novel" means 'a book that is not a textbook' to undergrads. Sure, that's not how I use it. But this expansion of meaning is fascinating

Useful for older folks (like me) for whom 'bi' always meant 'men and women' and not 'genders both like and unlike me'
