Probably to use one app for everything.
2 0 ReplyI don't understand why you wouldn't use an app specifically for podcasts with all the necessary functionality already built in.
4 1 ReplyWell, I gave one reason. If you don't understand I don't know what else to tell you. I don't do it, not sure why you're replying to me.
3 0 ReplyYeah, Spotify is trying to force the same thing with a similarly muddled interface.
YouTube Music is still worse, though, in that it's also tied to YouTube the video hosting service, plus a music streaming service, plus a podcast streaming service.
3 0 ReplyPersonally, it never occurred to me. I had been using Google Podcasts and even before they announced it was EOL, it was getting annoying.
Spotify was there, had everything, so I used it. They keep putting their prices up and I am ready to leave.
What podcast app would you recommend?
