Do you consider, say, Stitcher Premium's original audio shows like Wolverine "podcasts?" I'm assuming the answer is now, but that service is certainly pitching that they are the same medium/art form as those in the open space. |

Stitcher does make at least some of their original content available as podcasts, which I think is great. Wolverine: The Long Night appears to be paid-only, but (for example) LeVar Burton Reads has a podcast.[1]

It really looks that way. The domain for Wolverine: The Long Night is "wolverinepodcast.com", which to me says that Stitcher is intentionally leveraging podcasting's popularity to try and sell shows that aren't available as podcasts.
Considering that Stitcher was built on podcasting, I find this pretty distasteful.
