    Holy shit that price is just insane. No one is going to be willing to pay that when Spotify is cheaper by a lot…

      Do people really use Spotify for podcasts? I don’t find it a great experience. Pocket Casts seems to be solid as a free app along with other alternatives (including open-source).

        I’m pretty sure the only people who use Spotify for podcasts are unvaccinated Roganites

        I use Spotify for podcasts, though if the rumors of them increasing their sub is true, I’ll be swapping to open source alternative’s.

          Look at AntennaPod. Pretty app like Pocket Casts but is completely free and open source.

            Just discovered yesterday that the Pocket Casts apps are also open source!

      Spotify is 10 a month for a normal subscription, so Pocket Casts is roughly a third of that for one year. I don’t like Spotify for podcasts at all but it is a big part of the service nowadays. Still awfully expensive for Pocket Casts when you consider that it is just for podcasts and no music - unlike Spotify.
