Man, Spotify fucking sucks for podcasts. I love this show and ready use Spotify for music so I'll deal, but this is a bummer. I prefer pocketcasts so much more than this.

'Last Podcast on the Left' Moving Exclusively to Spotify
- Thread starter infiniteloop
- Start date
I'll have to catch up on the episodes I want to hear on Stitcher before the move. I might listen on spotify I have it but its the last place I go for podcasts.
Thank goodness for that 6 month trial via Game Pass.
Might have to finaally leave Podcast Addict. RIP
I can only assume both Tell em Steve Dave and Retronauts are on Spotify as well. Guess I'll live.

Apple Podcasts have been opened for over a decade, if they start going for exclusives it'll be because others forced their had
Luckily, someone just pointed out there is a sleep timer when listening to podcasts. Can't seem to find it when playing music, but it is definitely there for podcasts.
The move shouldn't be as bad as originally feared.
I have found their episodes better researched and presented than ever, but yeah, I'm not really into ghosts and aliens myself so it can be weeks between stuff I'm interested in.
Their Aum Shinrikyo and Jones Town series are absolutely brilliant though.
Yeah, Jonestown was good but that was what, almost two years ago? Now it's just mid week filler side stories and random stuff about aliens. It's really gone off the rails.
I get why podcasts want to move away from RSS. But, why do we need so many platform wars?
They're pretty much THE true crime and paranormal podcast. Personally, I think they've been pretty consistent and the new Side Stories stuff has been pretty funny.
As long as I can download and listen offline (that's how I consume all my podcasts) without paying then I'll be fine. If downloading is behind any kind of paywall then I'm out!
Bonnie and Clyde
Belle Gunness
Burke and Hare
Hadden Clark
All been good!
Yeah, idk, i mean don't get me wrong there are still some solid episodes but few years ago *every* episode was worthwhile. Now it's a mix of the ones you mentioned and pointless filler episodes that feel like they only produced to get $ from ads/listens.
Guess they've done a lot of the heavy hitters, some I think could do with a revisit maybe?
Personally hoping for a few subjects for them to cover, namely:
Lawrence Bittacker and Roy Norris
Washington Snipers
Levi Belfield
Harold Shipman
Shit, I can see the future. Podcast will be like PC Games where I need to have 8 apps if I want to listen to certain podcasts.
I can see NPR, The NYT, Earwolf etc all making this move.

It's one I'm getting around to, I jump in immediately for the depraved criminals and cults, it's not like organised religion is any different so I should get on it.
Does Spotify save your place in podcasts if you listen to something else between listens?
Does it allow you to fast forward 30 seconds?

It saves your place
It allows you to skip in 15 second intervals
And increase the speed of playback (not something I do)
and they're not messy (anymore) like the My Favorite Murder hosts. That's a huge plus.
their mormonism series is great
it's like a mix of their scientology series and the donner party set
Oh that's great then, those are the 2 features needed for podcasts. A sleep timer would be great though.
There is a sleep timer, strangely it is only for podcasts and not music.
I don't think most of their fans will care or even raise much of a fuss about it
I think they're just liberals. Isn't one of them a conservative too?
Really hope this trend doesn't take off. Least of all because I hate Spotify's podcast set up.
Can't even create playlists so I can separate out things like sports/entertainment/politics like even the most basic podcast apps. Absolutely none of the advanced features and really I just don't think Spotify is that great of a user interface.

I think one of 'em was a producer on Red Eye who quit once Trump got elected.
He described how fake Fox News shows are when describing how a guest was telling him he was against water boarding in the green room calling it torture, only to go on the air and justify it.
I haven't paid for Spotify in forever, but I'll download their show from it if I have to.
I just discovered this show, started with the Reagan episode. Then I discovered they have a backlog of 400+ episodes. I finally found something new to listen to at work for the next year, lol.
The alien and conspiracy stuff is the best. Henry is even a member of some self-serious alien research group lmao. Even better is sexy spookypasta. Love it when Henry says to get naked and roll a fat one at the start of those. Gets me every time. Such a weirdo.
Also, I'm slowly realizing that I would listen to a podcast with just Henry on any subject really.

They gonna recommend me good leftist podcasts like chapo, eat the rich, struggle session, citation needed, etc? Doubt it
Last Podcast is the only show I listen to, since I don't get a lot of time for this stuff nowadays. I don't currently use Spotify, so this is an annoyance. I suppose I'll have to move from Amazon Music Unlimited over to Spotify next year, but I wish I didn't have to.
Huh. Well, I'd rather they go Spotify than Stitcher premium. I really don't want to add stitcher to my list of monthly subs if tons of podcasts keep jumping on there. On the other hand, I love my Spotify subscription so feel free to add more podcasts into the fold if they think it makes good business sense for them.
Podcasts have been awesome. Just pick the player who's UI you prefer and have all of the podcasts.
It was too good to be true. Here we go, exclusive podcasts. Fuck this earth.

Please don't become a trend...podcasts are basically my favourite medium right now. Don't let the oligopolists own them, too.
