Anyone else listened to the new Bruce Springsteen and Barack Obama podcast on Spotify yet?

The two of them discuss race and their experiences of racism. I've really enjoyed the two episodes so far and they've really made me think. Bruce put it brilliantly during episode two (and I'm massively paraphrasing here) when he says something along the lines of "white people are never made aware of their race". It really resonated with me.

If you're into creepy shit, The Battersea Poltergeist on BBC Sounds is fantastic. It's a mix of current day investigation and dramatic reconstructions of a case in the 50's, with a cast including Toby Jones as the paranormal investigator. The presenter/creator Danny Robins did a podcast series a few years ago called Haunted, which is equally great.

I've just put up the latest episode of my podcast, You Are Haunted, in which I'm sent some very genuine EVP.

I migrated the show to Anchor. Nobody ever listened through Podbean as they always tried to make you download the app first, and I was about one more episode from using up my free airtime and having to pay for hosting. A pox on whoever recommended them in the first place.

Also, You Are Haunted is finally on Spotify and Google Podcasts. Hopefully on Apple soon too, but they rejected me the first time for having episode numbers in my titles? Love to have a gatekeeper ruling over the entire industry.

A double post and a shill. Spank me daddy, I been bad!

I will fucking DIE with Podbean. I cannot be arsed to uninstall it and install a new app and subscribe to the 50 podcasts I don't listen to, and just delete every couple of days.

I used to use podbean, until it decided to start unpairing all my Bluetooth devices at the end of every episode I listened to.

i was a Podbean guy until the app stopped updating my shows in my feed. The only way i could get an any individual show to update was to actually click on it. Using Spotify these days.

This. I just checked and I have about 3500 hours listened whilst having a Spotify account. Podbean used to be great, but its a clunky piece of shit these days.

Fuck Spotify for podcasts. I pay a subscription so I don't have to listen to adverts but Spotify still include them in podcasts because "it's how listeners are used to hearing them".

Plus them buying podcast companies and making the shows Spotify-only.

That's really no different to pretty much any media streaming service these days though is it? 

This made me laugh.

Here’s a recommendation to my fellow podcasters. Get a plug on National radio. I called up LBC yesterday and got on the air, before Philip ruined the rest of the schedule, and one cheap plug later and boom. In 9 years I think it’s the first time we’ve cracked the top 5.
