According to Podcasting News: “The Oxford University Press, publishers of the New Oxford American Dictionary, has selected podcast as the Word of the Year for 2005.”

Erin McKean, editor in chief of the New Oxford American Dictionary, said: “Podcast was considered for inclusion last year, but we found that not enough people were using it, or were even familiar with the concept. This year it’s a completely different story. The word has finally caught up with the rest of the iPod phenomenon.”

Supposedly the word will be in the new online update in early 2006. I wonder if it will include a sub definition for farm podcast?

Hey all you public relations and communications people. Let’s make farm podcasting the buzz of the new year.
