This article, which uses the word I coined–Gastrocast–some how misses the fact that A) I coined the term which everyone is so freely bandying about these days and B) I have a fairly respectible podcast which goes by that name–all about food. . . .. Hmmm?????  WTF?? What really pisses me off though, I suppose apart from the fact that it is written by a local, whom I’ve met many times and contacted recently (who is also hosting a podcasting forum at the IACP Conference I will be attending next week. . . .), is the term "Cream of the Crop" By whose standards? How many people were involved in the decision and selection process. I could care less that I am not in the same category with them, but to create a  classification of a genre without being all encompassing is a bit crass. I think I suggested something like forming a network of food podcasts and blogs a month or so ago on the show–but this ain’t what I had in mind. I was beginning to feel pretty shite about my efforts–like the mainstream might think I’m a bit of a joke or something. But thanks to Hoamer, this turned around my mood.
