I am mid-40s. My daughter is 11. I take her to school, among other driving things, and usually play NPR. Whenever she needs to refer to what she's hearing -- usually to ask if I'll turn it off so she can pull up some godawful thing where a random Youtuber squawks discordant lyrics to a Pokémon video game score -- she calls it a podcast. I've stopped correcting her, particularly since most of the "shows" release as podcasts by the next day anyway.

I'm almost 40yo. I got a few good ones explaining stuff to my nephew, who's now 16:

The opening in my older computer case, covered with cardboard. It was a floppy disk drive that stopped working, the case predates the marriage of his parents.
Why we didn't simply "look it up" to know that the Mew under the truck rumours were false.
What the fuck "paint online" is supposed to be. (Tibia, a MMO fairly popular among people in my generation, when we were at his age.)
Weird popular names for money, like "pila" (after a politician, Raul Pilla), "cruzeiro" (old coin, replaced by the real in 1993), or "mirreis" (mil reis, after another coin).
