Thankfully Spotify’s podcast platform still supplies RSS for most podcasts. The only exclusive podcast I listen to got so much backlash they had to make it non exclusive again
So good. I love British panel shows and I’m a parent of young kids. It’s one of my most-listened-to podcasts in the last 4 years.
Didn’t realize it ever went Spotify exclusive. That must have been between my binge sessions; I’ve only listened (on Podcast Addict) to a small fraction of what my wife listens to (on Spotify).
Truth. I was genuinely angry seeing how Spotify kept trying to buy up everything podcast related. Felt like I was screaming into the void about how platform exclusive podcasts are antithetical to the free and open nature of podcasts. I hope their billions of dollars invested into podcasts continue to bite them in the butts.
