Man, I really hate platform specific podcasts that require a special player or account. Spotify in general seems to be “bad” about taking an open podcast out out through an rss feed that was playable anywhere and making it exclusive.

It’s a tale as old as time, but it’s the inconvenience of upsetting an ingrained personal habit (open podcast player, look for new episodes) and having to add an extra step (open Spotify, look for new episodes).

This is good for Spotify but bad for users. I want to organize my information and optimize my behavior. Not do dumb, unnecessary steps because it makes Spotify more money.
