I’ve talked about this before, but here’s an email I just received when posting Ambient Soundbath #125. In part of their attempt to completely dominate and monopolize online listening, Spotify does not allow music-only podcasts, i.e. artists must pay or be formally distributed (distributor pays) to be carried on their platform. We’re small potatoes, but this is a huge blow to independent music artists and music-only podcasters everywhere, but great for Joe Rogan and the like, if that’s you’re thing. Since I’ve talked about this, I thought I’d share this email.

Apple Podcasts is a giant, but I have to recommend them as the best, most accessible and most user-friendly tool for listening.
