Pocketcast was bought by NPR, This American Life, and some other radio stations which makes this pivot more confusing. No more public radio donations from me anymore.
- pkulak 7y agoHey now, don't get all bitter so quickly. Public radio and television are still some of the last journalism left in this country.
