Genuine question.

I actually don’t know where to start. Do I just keep what I’ve been doing for a while and use search on Spotify? Is there anything “off the beaten path”, so to speak?

Please give me some tips and tricks on finding 'em. Thanks.

    Well, you can’t access the Joe Rogan show because it’s a Spotify exclusive. So no, but are we losing anything of value? Also no.

    Podcasts publish new episodes on an RSS feed. There are many podcast clients that read the RSS feed link and present to you the episodes so you can stream or download them. This makes the podcast a decentralized media format. Spotify is trying to centralize it by hiding RSS feeds and creating exclusive “podcasts” that can only be accessed from Spotify.

    If you can find the public RSS feed link then AntennaPod, Pocket casts, gPodder, whatever podcast client, can access it.

    Many people probably hate Spotify for podcasts because it’s trying to kill an open format. If Spotify can get control over podcasts then they decide what can and can’t be created.

      Oh, I didn’t know. So you can find it all on AntennaPod or Pocket Casts?

        Spotify is trying to centralize it by (…) creating exclusive “podcasts” that can only be accessed from Spotify.

        If you can find the public RSS feed link then (…) whatever podcast client, can access it.

        I can’t think of a communist show that Spotify would by the exclusive rights to. Check out whether all the shows you listen to are available, all the ones I do are.
