> The german podcast scene gladly seems to be quite resistant against these kind of things and they say they earn more through direct donations than spotify and/or audible is able to give them anyways.

Gemischtes Hack, for another example. In fact, the only podcasts that came to mind for me here were German!

I support a few English-language podcasts on Patreon and that model seems to work quite well for them. Meanwhile, I rely on fan-supplied RSS feeds to keep up with F&F and GH :)

I'd be interested to see their listener numbers after they switched to spotify (and rebranded). Unfortunately it's hard to get any meaningful statistics in the podcast world except for downloads.

I was a regular listener of Sanft & Sorgfältig back in the days and stopped after their switch to spotify because it was just inconvenient to use compared to overcast. I'd probably do the same with other podcasts I regularly consume.

Well, they seem to be pretty popular as they just got another day to air. They also get a live even every year.

I get it through a Telegram group where someone rips the casts ;)
