Podcast is analogous to broadcast. The term refers to the distribution.
The fact that podcasts can be done by anyone with a microphone and an Internet connection, while radio broadcasts typically require professionals in professional facilities is really just a wonderfully enabling side effect, not a defining characteristic.
Many radio shows are both a broadcast and a podcast, for real and in truth.
All podcasters would likely prefer their content was indistinguishable from a professional commercial radio broadcast.
But it's very easy to put out garbage.
Podcasting is the audio equivalent of ebook self-publishing.
Both Patrick Modiano and John E. Literate can do it.
