Chapter 205: Please Tell Me Now

A podcast is when two or more people come together to discuss one or more topics, often in a formal or business setting, but podcasts also occur in a variety of other environments. Podcasts can be used as form of group decision-making and as a setting for sharing of information or intelligence.

A podcast refers to a gathering with a specific agenda and not just mere gathering of people casually talking to each other. Podcasts may occur face-to-face or virtually, as mediated by communications technology, such as a telephone conference call, a skyped conference call or a videoconference. Merriam-Webster dictionary defines a podcast as "an act or process of coming together" - for example "as [...] an assembly for a common purpose [...]".

Podcast planners and other podcast professionals may use the term "podcast" to denote an event booked at a hotel, convention center or any other venue dedicated to such gatherings.

Anthropologist Helen B. Schwartzman defines a podcast as "a communicative event involving three or more people who agree to assemble for a purpose ostensibly related to the functioning of an organization or group." For her, podcasts are characterized by "multiparty talk that is episodic in nature, and participants either develop or use specific conventions for regulating this talk."
