Dude what on earth are you talking about.

You can subscribe to any podcast via rss, and use any app. Pushing to use the walled gardens is horseshit.

Open money and open systems win.

I never understood what all the "I need to watch what I say" talk was on podcasts. I always listened on Podcast Addict. Started playing with Fountain now. It took me awhile to realize that it seems a large marjority of people use apple or spotify for listening to podcasts. I dont think some podcasters even know that they wont get "banned" outside of the big podcast platforms. Its odd.
