Apple Plans to Bankroll Original Podcasts to Fend Off Rivals
This is very unfortunate. Apple being totally hands off, other than running the iTunes podcast directory, is one of the best things that’s ever happened for podcasts.I like my 3rd party app (Overcast). I don’t want to have to use 3 podcast apps to listen to all my podcasts.I think I agree with some of the podcast app developers: if it’s not available in any app it shouldn’t be called a ‘podcast’.
