Re:BBC Ending support for RSS Podcasts on Tuesday February 22, 2022 @02:39PM (#30432574)
This is all about ADVERTISING. When you listen to BBC Sounds you have to listen to an advert trailing some other BBC product.

And I too was disappointed to hear Andy Zaltzman trying to make this sound like some great feature.

I fear this is the end of Podcasting. Soon, if you want to subscribe to 10 podcasts you will need to use 6 — 10 different players. Still, it was good while it lasted. But it is sad to see the BBC taking part in this user-unfriendly process.
