A Quick Update on the Show

everyone, quick heads up about the show on Spotify.

I'm no longer going to be updating the podcast there.

Why?

Well, it's not just one thing, it's a pileup.

Over the last year, Spotify has been corrupting our MP3s, which, yes, is as annoying as it sounds, deleting episodes from the feed, which is even more annoying, and generally creating a frustrating experience for listeners.

But beyond tech issues, when you pay Spotify to listen to podcasts, none of that money goes to independent podcasters.

Not a dime.

And as for where that money does go?

Well, recently, Spotify's CEO dropped 600 million euros into an AI military startup, which is about the most cursed sentence I've ever had to say out loud.

So, to recap, listeners are being charged for a worse experience, creators aren't being supported, and the money is going to

war robots.

So not exactly where I want the show to live.

Now, if you're currently listening on Spotify, no hard feelings.

This is not a guilt trip.

But if you want to keep hearing new episodes, you're going to want to switch platforms.

You can find us literally anywhere else podcasts are distributed.

And we recommend Pocket Casts, Podcast Addict, or Overcast.

They're free, they're great, and they don't siphon off money for Skynet.

Anyway, sorry about all this, and hopefully, this is the last time you're going to have to hear about Spotify.

Thanks for listening.
