Standard Podcast [35:47m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

Sal-E and I, Fausto Fernós, head out the house to record tonight’s show. Something was in the air that made us just want to stroll outside.

We are soon joined by my beloved husband, Marc Felion. Marc shows us which corner to hang out and record a show and turn a few tricks, if the possibility arises. We end up on the steps of a neighborhood church, which is not the best place for midnight cowboys like us, but it sure was comfortable. Were we divinely inspired on the steps of the church? Yes, if this is your version of the Divine.

We talked about the obnoxious review on iTunes music store for the podcast. Usually we don’t pay much attention to the negative ones, but this one really got our goat. And bitch, I want my goat back, she has medical needs and only understands Spanish. Anyway, this racist reviewer writes that they like our show but don’t like that we speak, in their words, “the Wet language” and that the last time he checked, this is still the “US of A and not the US of M,” which I guess must mean the US of Mexico.

Marc was a little confused over this review because he wasn’t familiar with the terminology of “wet language” and nothing turned up in a Google search. Having lived in the border state of Texas, I had heard it before. I know everyone’s heard of wetbacks as a derogatory term for Mexicans, but now you know they have their own language- Wet. I guess its our language too at the Feast of Fools. I hope our show gets you soaking wet.

Is the word podcast on the way out? It seems many feel that that the word podcast isn’t the best word to describe what programs like the Gay Fun Show do. They feel that the word is too confusing for people because a lot of people still feel that they need to have an iPod to download and enjoy podcasts. Marc has some personal experience at the GLBT expo in March when he asked people if they listen to podcasts a very common response was “I don’t have one.”

It just goes to show you that people do equate they term podcast with iPods. Other words have been purposed like “netcast,” “microcast,” “portable media” and now some people are suggesting the general term of “downloadable media” to cover podcasts, ATOM, and RSS media enclosures. They have even formed an Association for Downloadable Media to in their words “provide leadership in and organization of advertising and audience measurement standards, research, education and advocacy to all those involved in portable media.” Work that hot new term.
