You're the only person I've heard defining it in exactly *those* terms :)

Podcasting is neither restricted to video content nor iPods. In fact,
people are referring to video podcasts as "vidcasts" or even
"vlogging".

"Podcasting is the distribution of audio or video files, such as radio
programs or music videos, over the Internet using either RSS or Atom
syndication for listening on mobile devices *and personal computers*."
