Spotify bought a company that created money losing over produced shows where the most successful podcasts are just the opposite.
One of the most successful podcast over the past decade is “Stuff You Should Know”. The hosts go out of their way not to talk about the subject before hand to make the show seem more organic.
Would you call something that couldn’t be viewed in a browser a “web page”?
If you told me I should listen to this great podcast. I’m going to search on Overcast (which uses Apple’s podcast directory API), if it’s not there, it doesn’t exist. I can’t put it in my playlist, control it from my Watch app etc.
