I am mid-40s. My daughter is 11. I take her to school, among other driving things, and usually play NPR. Whenever she needs to refer to what she’s hearing – usually to ask if I’ll turn it off so she can pull up some godawful thing where a random Youtuber squawks discordant lyrics to a Pokémon video game score – she calls it a podcast. I’ve stopped correcting her, particularly since most of the “shows” release as podcasts by the next day anyway.

    Sounds familiar. Our kids (9 and 7) asked us at dinner the other night what “over the air” meant and what “radio” was. All they know is streaming.

      I’ll have to dig out the TV antenna and show her what it can pull in. Not really good or bad, just one I wouldn’t have predicted.
