I’m not sure if people realize this but a podcast is just an RSS feed to your audio files that you submit to a search index. Why would we want to centralize and give up control?
- pixxel 6y agoEspecially given Rogan has had Adam Curry on a couple of times. Then again I defy anyone to turn down eye watering money. The sellout of open podcasting remains though.
- notyourwork 6y agoI don’t think we consumers do. Businesses want concentrated reason for you to come to them. If you want podcast x you have to come to service y. Walled gardens are the strategy where exclusivity yields more customers. We saw this with video and now audio is going down this path.
