Any suggestions on good multi-platform alternatives? I’m using Apple Podcasts and it’s garbage.

      Spotify is also trying to kill traditional RSS podcasts by buying them up and making them exclusive to Spotify.

      Some podcasts have chapters, chapter art, show notes, etc. “Accidental Tech Podcast” is a good example. Spotify sucks for podcasts and they’re trying to kill podcasting so they can take it over.

      While I like spotify for music there are three things that bug me about it:

      • Anker.fm ads. Just a rant I hate anker.fm auto injection ads. If you try sleeping to a pod cast it wil go from normal volume TO SHOUTING ABOUT STATEFARM OR DUNKIN. While this issue also occurs on third party podcasting apps spotify dynamically injects a banner ad into podcast art and hyperlinks the ad. I might be overeacting (I hate these kind of deeplink ads). To be clear I don’t mind host read ads like linus sponsor shoutouts but dynamic ad injection is awfull.

      • No chapter support
