I've been dreading that. I am a voracious consumer of podcasts (over 20 hours per week). I donate via Patreon and other tipping platforms, considerably more than I spend on Netflix, but I'm well aware that this is almost certainly not enough.

I'd be happy to funnel that money through Spotify, but I suspect there won't be enough to fund the truly jaw-dropping array of content that I've been getting for free for years. And I'd miss my existing podcast app (Pocket Casts), which I'm a very comfortable with.

I'll be very sad if my favorite podcasts decide to jump to Spotify, discover there's no money there either, and drop out.
