A "pod" continues to be somewhat of a vague term to me. Just what does a "pod" conjure up in your mind and how do you distinguish it's meaning from other similar internet specific terms, such as, a "box" or a "cube"?
A couple of relevant definitions in the dictionary reveal a "pod" to be:
1. A casing or housing forming part of a vehicle, as:
a. A streamlined external housing that encloses engines, machine guns, or fuel.
b. Aerospace. A detachable compartment on a spacecraft for carrying personnel or instrumentation.
2. Something resembling a pod, as in compactness.
Does "pod" work as a substitute for "podcast"and given that the terms "Pod/s" and Podcast/s" are searched about equally*, what would your preference be for a streaming audio or video site in this example and in general:
CartoonPodcast?
CartoonPod?
Cartooncast?
