    I’m pretty sure the only people who use Spotify for podcasts are unvaccinated Roganites

      Just here to say fuck Dax Shepherd for being a Spotify exclusive podcaster.

      It’s the only reason my family plan hasn’t been migrated, really. I don’t want to deal with that fall out.

        Seriously. I have the Spotify app installed just to listen to his occasional podcast. It’s inspired me to start writing a self hosted app that will archive all your podcasts locally so next time a podcaster decides to sell out I won’t lost their back catalog. And then I also have a place to stream their newer stuff that I figure out a way to pirate.

        The podcast market is in an extremely precarious state due to giant corporations like I heart media and spotify trying to insert themselves into the market, implement Chokepoints with exclusive content, and finally extinguish open alternatives.
