New Time Radio
Apparent podcruft. Closely linked to Articles for deletion/The Overnightscape. Delete. &mdash;  F REAK OF N URxTURE  ( TALK )  23:29, Dec. 23, 2005

Comment its apparently an alternative name for "podcasting", along with Audio magazine, blogcast, audio blog. Zzzzz 01:18, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Delete Even if "New Time Radio" was the word coined by so-and-so in 2003, the word "podcasting" has won in the marketplace of ideas and is the one people really use and know. Endomion 07:02, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Defence I must question the reason for deleting this article. This is a viable and used term and has been so for a much longer period of time than podcasting. Deleting it in place of podcasting for the reasons stated are laughable; given Endomion's reasoning does this mean the term 'tube' should be deleted because the term 'subway' is more widely used? I believe democracy and the free and open exchange of ideas are truely being trampled on by deleting this article; everyone has the right to use alternative termenology. As for the argument that it is not the one people really use and know, a) people in different social contexts use differernt terms and b) podcasting and New Time Radio are NOT interchangable; New Time Radio refers to audio programs done in the style of Old Time Radio but that are broadcasted through the internet rather than radio. Podcasts can be speech, musical works, interviews and such, and c) Old Time Radio is an established term, as such New Time Radio is merely a derivative which arguably makes it more widely recognised to a greater audience than podcasting even to people not familiar with technology.

Do Not Delete - Not only do I agree with Rubenerd, but I do not see how this article meets the requirements for deletion. Ross412


 * Delete NN term. The subway/tube analogy doesn't hold water. A better analogy would be if someone decided to call a subway a subtrain. --rogerd 06:09, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
