Amazon Music and Audible Are Adding Podcasts

amazon

Billboard:

Amazon will soon make podcasts available to its 55 million customers on Amazon Music, including its free tier, as well as on its audiobook service Audible — but only if podcasters agree to speak well of the tech and e-commerce giant. […]

There’s one catch: The content license agreement stipulates that content may not “include advertising or messages that disparage or are directed against Amazon or any Service.”

Guess I’ll have to delete the Encore episode talking about how shitty the Prime app is on Apple TV.
