Dave Winer admits podcasting was Adam Curry's idea

Through a series of posts where Winer has been taking advantage of Adam Curry's Wikipedia jam to take pot shots at Curry. However, in the rush to try and flame Curry Winer makes an interesting admission. In the comment where Winer tries to fan the flame war says "as I recall it -- he explained the idea to me, had to do it over and over because I was so dense, and then didn't say anything other than How do we do this?"

So there we have it. While audio blogging existed before Curry's script and his was a second, independent effort, Winer acknowledges that it was in fact Curry "the Podfather" who came up with the idea for Podcasting and engaged Winer to work on the technical spec.
