It's a podcasting platform. It's about podcasts. Spotify has gone all in on podcasts and now everyone's got to compete. -- nm - Mop Jul 7, 08:00 16
- Podcasts need to figure out what they're doing because some are going exclusive to certain platforms and it's turning into TV/movie streaming - Marquis de Krusty Jul 7, 08:08 11
  - It's the reason I don't listen to the Athletic podcasts. They don't use RSS and force you to listen in app. -- nm - spamlet Jul 7, 08:27 1
    - Yeah, I wasn't happy to find that out recently. -- nm - Marquis de Krusty Jul 7, 08:31
  - I'd argue that podcasts as a whole don't need to figure out what they're doing. RSS is free to all creators and one of our own has been able to -- (edited) - JD Jul 7, 08:20 6
    - I won't listen to podcasts that go exclusive. I've lost a couple I liked but that's fine as there are plenty to choose from. - Marquis de Krusty Jul 7, 08:30 2
      - There's approximately 87,540,302.3 podcasts out there right now. Any of them that think they're that special and indispensable need to get knocked - Reagen Jul 7, 08:37 1
        
        *laugh* I was trying to figure out how to make that point - JD Jul 7, 08:41
    - I hear some podcasts don't use RSS. -- nm - Mop Jul 7, 08:30 1
      - Yup, some don't. -- nm - Marquis de Krusty Jul 7, 08:30
    - Agreed. I "subscribe" to my fave via patreon, and he seems to be going pretty strong with that approach. -- nm - General Whee Jul 7, 08:21
  - Correct. Hank Green wrote an opinion piece for the Washington Post (!!!) sounding the alarm about this. -- (link) - Mop Jul 7, 08:11 1
    - Thanks, good read. -- nm - Marquis de Krusty Jul 7, 08:31
- Gimlet, Joe Rogan, The Ringer and now Stitcher - JD Jul 7, 08:08 1
  - Correct. Those first 3 were bought by Spotify. Now SiriusXM has to catch up. -- nm - Mop Jul 7, 08:10
- If I hear one more radio ad here about IHeartRadio podcasts...... -- nm - ty97 Jul 7, 08:07 1
  - That's kind of what Spotify is betting on. That one would pay for no more ads ;-) -- nm - JD Jul 7, 08:09
A third tier streaming app. -- nm - spamlet Jul 7, 07:59
It was an app that let users create their own zombies out of spare parts they had laying around the house. -- nm - Qale Jul 7, 07:58 1
- seems legit - JD Jul 7, 07:59
