Ask HN: When will we have a centralised podcasting platform?

Several prolific podcast creators would argue that being decentralised is a feature, and they worry about your last point. I haven’t saved any of the conversations to be able to link you to, but if you search in Marco Arment’s twitter[1] or perhaps Daring Fireball[2] and their podcasting friend’s circles (like Relay FM[3]), you may be able to find specific arguments.

NPR’s announcement of RAD[4] or Spotify getting into podcasts[5] are bound to have generated comments from those sources.

You may also try asking Marco on twitter. He seems to have strong feelings on the subject.

It’s worth noting that several podcasts are part of networks but are still open to listen to in any platform, such as 5by5[6], Radiotopia[7], and the aforementioned Relay FM—which also has an app[8].

I thought as much. I suppose I'm just contradicting myself here; running away from a centralised platform trying to create another one. It doesn't make sense. I agree, dcentralisation will benefit creators the most. Thanks for taking the time to provide the links.
