I adored Heavyweight, but the moment they went Spotify exclusive, I stopped listening.
I'm the sort of person who will donate to Maximum Fun, and I'd even pay for Heavyweight (e.g. Patreon or some other way that let's me have RSS feeds), but when you wall up your services is when I'll stop listening.
I hope Jonathan Goldstein does some cool stuff for less shitty patrons.
- Kye 3y agoI think co-ops are the right model for podcasts. Maximum Fun got it right. There isn't enough money in podcasting for the quarterly earnings treadmill, but there is enough to keep a roster of niche shows running with the ad buying, fundraising, and cross-promotion power of a large network.
