Or, you know, just refuse to support Spotify's destruction of podcasts by not listening to any podcasts on Spotify.

  The one nice thing Spotify has, at least with Rogan, is the video included in the podcast so you don’t have to switch over to YouTube. I wish Overcast had this!

  That's what this thing enables you to do: not listen to any podcasts on Spotify. You can listen to them on your Gameboy Advanced for all I care, as long as it supports RSS it should work. If you mean to totally eschew any podcast hosted on Spotify that'd be throwing out the baby with the bath water - sometimes someone says something interesting on the other side of the wall after all. If Spotify clamps down on tools like these a better case can be made for podcasters to leave the walled garden, until such a time and as long as they allow access to their content using free-software tools they're just one other actor in the market albeit an oversized one which tries its best to create a walled garden.

    I'm willing to not feed podcasts that feed the beast. It's for the good of those podcasts, too. Though I understand why this app exists and people would want to use it. If I was willing to listen to a podcast that is exclusive to Spotify, I'd do it with something like this.

      Information wants to be free but sometimes it needs some help in finding freedom.
