 I mean, I really think I've had enough of #Google and their relentless destruction of apps and tech that I actively use. Today I got a reminder that Google Podcasts is EOL next year.

So, once again, I'm in the market for a podcast app that isn't Spotify or Apple or heart or whatever.

There was a time when this was easier, right? I watched @b92dcc07  DEFCON talk posted a couple weeks ago and I really think he's summed it up for me. Constant #enshittification of everything useful in tech.

 @7f45c262 @b92dcc07 Well it's going over to YouTube Music which isn't terrible and at least better than Spotify but what ever happened to antitrust laws??

 @7f45c262 @b92dcc07 Pocket Casts is a good option that works on Android, iOS, Sonos and the web. Some features require the Plus subscription. I got grand fathered in lifetime Plus membership.

Having a rug pulled from under you by Google quickly makes you judge how much money you are willing to put on the table to replace these services. I’m a lifetime Feedly Pro+ subscriber because of Google Reader demise.
