Re:Will Spotify Ruin Podcasting? by giancarlostoro on Monday February 10, 2020 @10:28AM (#22289897)
Till somebody acquires Spotify, the question is who will? Easily could see Microsoft doing so.

Me personally, I wont be buying into Spotify, I tried it years back (2008 ~ or the early days) and it didn't convince me. The All Music Access option that Google has is the best option for paid music so far.

Anybody making their podcasts exclusive to a platform will have to produce really enticing content or I will not go out of my way to add a new subscription to Spotify. I have my doubts I ever will join Spotify just because of a particular podcast.

I think it's free to access podcasts on Spotify, you don't need a subscription.
