google this is possibly the most ridiculous and buckwild thing you could tell me ever
what the fuck do you mean "podcasts are not available in my country" that makes literally no sense
(personally i still dont get the reasoning behind having podcasts on music streaming services tbh)
@puppy yeah I'm not a fan, I still maintain people listen to them in entirely different fashions and they should be separate
the cynic in me is that this is various players trying to make some money from a medium that has been free from the usual bullshit that other kinds of internet content suffer
@staticsafe im very much content with having all me podcasts sitting pretty in their own app that works 100% fine offline personally
@puppy @staticsafe tbh this or even just rss feeds
@staticsafe @puppy oh I think the cynic in you is right. podcasts are pretty pristine and untainted compared to most other things
@puppy audio streaming backend
@puppy lol Google on its usual bullshit
they always do this, whenever Google launches something I have to check if its only available in the USA
@puppy we couldnt get the rights to distribute these mp3 files of people talking that are freely available online
@puppy i read somewhere that mp3 files only work when played from certain GPS coordinates.
sorry i don't make the rules
@puppy The hottest new trend from 2005, coming soon to the UK! (maybe)
i didnae wanna use your shitey streaming services for podcasts anyway
