Podcasts going down the same road?

I can't say I am happy to see podcasting heading down the road of Netflix, Hulu, (list the other nine streaming services)..

Another form of media that wants me to have 6 different apps to be able to hear everything the way I want. Rad..

Historically collecting podcasts was so easy.

  1. Find RSS feed.
  2. Add to player.

Wondering if Apple will add podcasts back into  Music and make deals to include content from these ad free and original content sources?

Perhaps this exclusive / ad free content is only available in these silo apps for some period of time, then it moves to ad supported in normal rss feeds?

I guess this means that podcasting has found the mainstream given the number of companies looking to pull money out of the medium now?

Lots of open questions, but it’s definitely clear that Podcast consumption as we know it is changing, and the change is accelerating.

What’s your take?

I ❤️ Podcasts
