Meanings

proper noun
  1. slangThe realm of podcasts, their hosts and their listeners.

    There’s also the blogosphere (if that term is still en vogue), and there’s podcasting (sometimes called “Podcastistan” by one of my favorite ’casters, Sam Harris).

    And thanks to the woke left's misuse of the word "Nazi" for the last decade, in Podcastistan the term is not a descriptive label, but a vague, meaningless insult used to cancel people.
