The thing about podcasting is, unlike video, it is extremely cheap to host and distribute podcasts. The technology is old and well understood and can run from a basic website. The syndication format is RSS. Spotify and everyone else has trouble adding value to that. Also, podcasting is mostly about the guests and they can bounce around to different shows that are in the networks and outside them.
