Once a week I make a simple pitch to everyone that reads this website: if you like it, could you help support us? Running this website is my full-time job and it’s because of readers like you that we can remain independent and keep publishing. There’s a few different tiers of support that work out to basically pennies a day. And being a supporter comes with cool perks (like Dark Mode, special forum enhancements, and much more), but beyond that your support means this website and forum can continue to exist. You can learn more here.

Thank you to all of our current supporters and all the readers that make this website possible. I love running it, and it’s because of all of you that I truly feel like I have the greatest job in the world. Thank you.

Spotify Launches Spotlight, a Multimedia Take on Podcasts

Jason Tate

Megan Farokhmanesh, writing for The Verge:

Spotify announced today that it’s expanding its audio slate to include “visual podcasts” about news, politics, and entertainment. These shows, available in playlist form, will feature a multimedia component that includes text, video, and photos as part of a new format that Spotify is calling “Spotlight.”

Meh, I listen to podcasts while doing other things and have my phone in my pocket, not sure I need “multimedia content” with my podcasts. Spotify should instead open up their directory of podcasts to everyone. The beauty of podcasting is that virtually anyone can do it and share it with the world through an RSS feed. Spotify’s podcast section shuts out thousands of independent publishers.
