RT\u00c9 Radio player is a streaming  play back service. This has one great advantage over podcasts, it means radio shows can be played in full including copyrighted materials such as songs. While for a limited set of shows it offers a download button it hasn&#8217;t yet worked for me. <\/p>\n<p>But a stream back service where people are being directed to is NOT a podcast and frankly it never will be, so my gripe is that RT\u00c9 are taking great licence with the meaning of a technology &#038; the word that describes it. This may lead to the non provision of podcasts (podcast definition: A multimedia digital file made available on the Internet for downloading to a portable media player, computer, etc.) in the future, in favour of streaming which is a media shift that is not always in the best interests of the listeners who are seeking time shifted media.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>not content with altering the meaning of the word PODCAST by making it a verb for the listener, RT\u00c9 Radio are now asking people to go on line to a web based radio player to get a podcast of previous shows. &#8220;Podcast today&#8217;s show at the RT\u00c9 Radio Player&#8221; Why is this a problem? well,&hellip; <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/briangreene.com\/bhg\/2012\/rte-and-podcasts\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">RT\u00c9 and podcasts<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_s2mail":"yes","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2413","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/briangreene.com\/bhg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2413","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/briangreene.com\/bhg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/briangreene.com\/bhg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briangreene.com\/bhg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briangreene.com\/bhg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2413"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/briangreene.com\/bhg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2413\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2414,"href":"https:\/\/briangreene.com\/bhg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2413\/revisions\/2414"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/briangreene.com\/bhg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2413"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briangreene.com\/bhg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2413"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briangreene.com\/bhg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2413"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
