 spotify does not allow you to listen to episodes 109, 110, and 111 of Citadel Dispatch

they are available in all other podcast apps, consider it a recommendation to listen from spotify's censorship department 🫡

 Platform’s self-owns are glorious.

Let’s not interrupt them… 
 Genial, a escuchar todos 😉 
 What even is Spotify? 
 Ill have to check which ones those were... 
 Lel, what is sensitive in them? 
 What a mess, the should’ve stayed in the music business only… the app experience totally sucks, trying to push things I don’t want from them and censoring podcasts that should be free and available to everyone… 
 Yup must listen now 
 Maybe technical issue? What do the episodes concern?  
 Any indication why? 
 nope, just discovered it and haven't received any comms from them 
 Nostr fixes this? 
 Podcasting 2.0 fixes this. @Dave Jones @adamcurry 
 both help fix this, become unruggable 🫡 
 That’s crazy. 
 Odd. 

I don't recall hearing anything even remotely controversial. Just a few great conversations.

Thankfully I continue to enjoy using FOSS AntennaPod. 
 antennapod is legit, love that project 
 I don't know what I appreciate more. 

That your content isn't censored or that Apple, Google, and others aren't tracking my every listen. 
 hopefully they add podcasting 2.0 soon, I know they plan on it, would allow them to monetize ethically  
 that would be amazing.
it's the number one app I use on my Calyx. 
 Do they tell you that they censored it? Are you using them for hosting (formerly AnchorFM)? 
 they did not inform me, I found out today, I am using anchor for one feed, and self host a backup feed via bitcointv that I have been bad at updating

you can also torrent dispatch, and it's on youtube, with all live streams via zap.stream

if anchor rugs me I will stand up another feed with my archives, until then it doesn't make sense to fuck with the network effects 
 The world needs multimedia Nostr relays.⚡️ 
 It’s not Anchor but Spotify: https://overcast.fm/+npr9NgwjY

The Anchor RSS feed is available elsewhere. They just don’t show the episodes on Spotify.

That’s some Chinese wall between hosting and distribution on Spotify 😁 
 Just a reminder that the Chinese wall didn't really work :-) 
 Sounds like the censorship (or software issue) happened at the player level, rather than the hosting, since I got all the episodes in Fountain which presumably pulls them from Anchor / Spotify.

I use Castopod as the backup, which can pull the latest episodes in with one click. 
 Where can I find the torrents for CD? 
 Another app to leave eventually. 
 Was looking to try fountain.fm
Spotify is been screwing a lot these days. 
 Spotify for podcasts? It rocks for music but it's garbage for podcasts.  
 Fuck spotify  
 Aren't podcasts supposed to be decentralized? 
 I really like Spotify for listening to music and podcasts. If they're censoring those episodes, then there's probably more on the way. I usually quit a censoring platform, when possible, but for music I don't have an alternative.

Any have suggestions? 
 I've beeeeen wondering what the hold up has been.  I used to listen from breez for a while but it's just more convenient from Spotify. Followed on fountain an will support from there going forward.  
 You know they’ll be taking a hard look when 420 drops
