Actually, if you consider the few vlogs that would
be considered to be "shows", you have a group of vlogs that have content that is
generally far above average.

Subject: [videoblogging] Re: 'Podcast'
named word of the year
Apple seems to suggest through their nomenclature that both
audio and video are both podcasts. They don't seem to make a
distinction. They now have a video category but it is falls with
their podcasts section.
After reviewing their selections for
"video features" though they seem to be biased toward the "show" variety
and appear negligent in representing videoblogs.
