That's my biggest complaint with premium podcasts. They lock you into using their inferior app.

- Wowfunhappy 5y agoExactly. Even worse, if you listen to more than one podcast like this from different companies, you have to use multiple apps. They really shouldn't even be called Podcasts. Just like how I wouldn't call something an email newsletter if it didn't show up in my normal email client.
- lovegoblin 5y agoThe very next tweet in the linked thread: > The same 99pi crew are going to make the show, we’re our own editorial unit, and show will be still be available anywhere to everyone.
- MBCook 5y agoThat’s the case for this podcast. For now. I too love 99PI but if I ever have to use the Stitcher app I’ll drop it in a hot second. Same goes for any other podcast. Stitcher, Spotify, NPR, Apple, anyone. If I can’t use the app I like, it’s not a podcast and I won’t go through the effort. There are too many other good podcasts waiting in the wings.
- crossroadsguy 5y agoThere was this awesome Indian podcast (Intersection) which moved to Audible and now even the producers are waiting for the contract to be over. They have given up.
