Podcasting: Time-Shifted Radio?

I have podcasting on my mind right now, as we just finished our most successful podcast yesterday -- had Aculab's David Duffett conferenced in from England -- check it out by going to TMCnet's podcast page here.

But doing research today, I found some commentary referring to podcasting as "time-shifted radio," which I thought was a great description, borrowed I think from the realm of Tivo. (This is probably nothing new to veterans. At TMC, we're rank newbies at podcasting, although we love it and it has become an important part of our weekly publishing cycle.)

I found another commentator saying something along the lines that 'no, it's not time-shifted, it's on-demand.' So I though those two ideas were worth noting and recording -- time-shifted, on-demand.

Wikipedia has a great entry about podcasting here.
